If your system supports remsh, try something like this
Code:
hostFile=/data01/global_backup/scripts/GLOBAL_hostFile.txt
while read ip sd
do
  echo "connecting to $sd on $ip"
remsh "$sd" compress /global/prd/cycle/export/full_export.dmp 
if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] ; then
   echo "error compressing file on $sd"
fi 
ftp -dv $ip <<EOF
bin
get /global/prd/cycle/export/full_export.dmp /data01/global_backup/files/monday/$sd.full_export.dmp
bye
EOF
if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
echo "Had a problem connecting to $sd on $ip"
else
echo "Connected to $sd on $ip"
fi
done < ${hostFile}

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
