    All,

    The script is now working, Michael DeSimone made the below suggestion:

    "The sleep 60 is a Unix command, which you know, but you are at an ftp

    prompt and that wont work. What you can do though is go to a shell to do

    the sleep. the only thing you would need to change is

    sleep 60

    to

    !sleep 60

    I added ! to the sleep and it work like a charm...

     

    For those interested the script look like this now:

    #!/bin/sh

    ftp -n rest.rest1.com << !EOF

    user test 13now

    !sleep 60

    user forest1 ttree

    cd /outbound

    hash

    prompt

    bin

     

    mget call_sample.txt

    mget call_detail.txt

    mget header.txt

     

    quit

    !EOF

     

    Thanks for all those that send me suggestions... I really appreciate all the
    efforts

    Hello Gurus,

     

      I am writing an automated script that needs to be place in cron job. The
    problem with the script is that, I need to log in twice. Does anyone have
    similar script? Suggestions are welcome. Thanks in Advance

     

     

     

     If I ran the ftp manually it looks like:

     

     

     

    ftp -n rest.rest1.com

    Connected to rest.rest1.com.

    220-FTP authentication :

    220

    ftp> user test 13now

    331-Password:

    331

    220 narnia FTP server (Version wu-2.6.2+Sun) ready.

    ftp> user forestl ttree

    331 Password required for forestl.

    230 User forestl logged in. Access restrictions apply.

    ftp>

     

     

     

    When I wrote the script with single user it works fine but with two logins
    it failed on the second login. Below is the script:

     

    #!/bin/sh

    ftp -n rest.rest1.com << !EOF

    user test 13now

    sleep 60

    user forest1 ttree

    cd /outbound

    hash

    prompt

    bin

     

    mget call_sample.txt

    mget call_detail.txt

    mget header.txt

     

     

     

    quit

    !EOF

     

     

    Below is the error from the script:

     

    # ./auto_ftp.scribe.ksh -v

    530 Login incorrect.

     

    Login failed.

    ?Invalid command

    Hash mark printing on (8192 bytes/hash mark).

    Interactive mode off.

    call_sample.txt: No such file or directory.

    call_detail.txt: No such file or directory.
