How do you try to connect and fail: from inside a script or on the command line?

Try something like this:
Code:
echo "
verbose
open nodename
user username 'mypasswd#'
get somefile
bye
"  | /usr/bin/ftp -n
# is the script "comment" character - it begins a comment.

Hey I've tried with the password having a # at the end. Try this

Let the variables username and password have the corresponding username and password or have it directly in the script.

ftp -nv $IP_ADDRESS << cmd
user $username $password
get file1
get file2
quit
cmd
