Capturing FTP log
I am trying to do the FTP using .netrc.In my .netrc file in $HOME dir i am placing the machine ip,user name and pwd.Then i am creating dynamically a file which contains the ftp commands.

My script is like below:
__________________________________
export REMOTE_DIR= <some path>
export LOCAL_DIR= <some path>
export source_file_name= <some path>
echo "bin" > /data1/command_ftp.txt
echo "cd $REMOTE_DIR" > /data1/command_ftp.txt
echo "lcd $LOCAL_DIR" > /data1/command_ftp.txt
echo "get $source_file_name" > /data1/command_ftp.txt
echo "bye" > /data1/command_ftp.txt
chmod u+x /data1/command_ftp.txt
ftp x.xxx.xx.xx < /data1/command_ftp.txt

But in this script i am not able to capture any log any where during the FTP.
If i am using the conventioanl methos of doing FTP using user id and password i am able to get the log.

generally to get the log we wite like this :

ftp -v -n x.xxx.xx.xx << cmd >> ftplog
user $USER_ID $PASSWD
cd $REMOTE_DIR
lcd $LOCAL_DIR
$mode
$direction $REMOTE_FILE $LOCAL_FILE
quit
cmd

How can i capture log in the script i am using .netrc file.
Even if i try like this i am not able to capture the log

ftp x.xxx.xx.xx < /data1/command_ftp.txt > ftplog

Please suggest me some way to do this
