The script won't run under the ftp process so that resolves that right there.

Are you using ssh to log in to the Unix box? If so, you could do something like this:

Code:
scp file.* username@unix:/home/username/dump
ssh username@unix "/home/username/script1"
scp username@unix:/home/username/fileout .

Alternately, if ssh isn't available for some reason, on the Unix box, have the user set up a cron entry (I don't know if it's Linux or not):

Code:
* * * * * /home/username/testscript > /dev/null 2>&1

testscript would consist of just:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

if [[ -f /home/username/dump/file.* ]]
then
  /home/username/script1
fi

That way it runs every minute and only runs the main script when files appear in the dump directory. The script1 script should clean up the dump directory so the testscript only runs when you copy files over.

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.
