[uug] UNIX equivalent of DOS "FOR" statement?

[Richard Miller]

Can someone help me with the syntax of a FOR command in the tsch shell 
(I am on Mac OS X).  I remember being able to use a FOR statement in 
DOS to execute the same command on every file in a directory, like this:

for (%%a) in (*.*) do some_action_to %a  (or something like that)

How do I do it in tsch?

(Actually, maybe there is a better way to do this: I want to upload 
every file in a directory using the curl command.  Right now I can send 
one file with "curl -T /Users/richard/file.txt -u user:password 
ftp://ftp.example.com/public_html/file.txt"; but I haven't been able to 
use wildcards.)

Thanks,
Richard Miller
