Providing a copy of your script would certainly aid your query. And what OS are you running ??

My suggestion would be to create a temporary directory, mget the required fileset to the directory and exit the ftp session. Then update your destination directory via a script of your own means.

In Windows I'd have used robocopy, not sure if there's a similar product for Unix.

DESCRIPTION

	 xen-update-image is a simple script which allows you to update
	a Xen image of Debian which has been created with xen-create-image.

	 It does this by mounting the image inside a temporary directory
	then running:

	     apt-get update

	     apt-get upgrade

	 NOTE If the image is already running within Xen this will cause
	corruption otherwise it will allow you to update your image without
	booting it.

EXAMPLES

	 The following assumes there are two images which are not currently
	running.  The images are called 'test.my.flat', and 'x11.my.flat'.

	 Updating both images can be accomplished by executing:

	    xen-update-images --dir=/home/xen test.my.flat x11.my.flat
