Help in FTP'ing multiple files

Hi,
I have written the following FTP script to get the multiple files from remote server to local server. My problem is that 'mget *' is not working in the script. I also tried with 'mget *.txt', 'mget *.*' etc. without any success. It do not copy any file to local server. In the script, Prompt is set off. However, when I try doing it manually, it works. Don't know, where the problem lies. My code is like,

$LOGIN=user
$FTPPASS=password
mkdir ftp`date '+%Y%m%d'`
cd ftp`date '+%Y%m%d'`

`ftp -vin <<- END_INPUT > $LOG/ftp_files.log 2>&1
open $DEVICE
user $LOGIN $FTPPASS
cd $PICKUP
mget *.txt
quit
END_INPUT`
