Problem with embedded FTP command in Ksh - System Cannot find the specified path.
I have the following FTP embedded in a Ksh script on AIX 5.3

Code:
 
ftp -n <<WHATEVER
 open 10.101.26.218
 user hcistats *******
 ascii
 put $thupdatefile 
 put $thcollectfile
 quit
WHATEVER

Here is what my script returns:
Code:
 
/qdxtest/qdx5.4/integrator/archiveqdx/hcistats.thupdate.20091118.csv: The system cannot find the path specified.
/qdxtest/qdx5.4/integrator/archiveqdx/hcistats.thcollect.20091118.csv: The system cannot find the path specified.

However the files exists:
Code:
 
/>ls -al /qdxtest/qdx5.4/integrator/archiveqdx/hcistats.thupdate.20091118.csv
-rw-rw-r--   1 hci      staff          7103 Nov 19 15:26 /qdxtest/qdx5.4/integrator/archiveqdx/hcistats.thupdate.20091118.csv

/>ls -al /qdxtest/qdx5.4/integrator/archiveqdx/hcistats.thcollect.20091118.csv
-rw-rw-r--   1 hci      staff          9241 Nov 19 15:26 /qdxtest/qdx5.4/integrator/archiveqdx/hcistats.thcollect.20091118.csv

I can even view the contents of the file, so permissions should be fine.
Code:
 
/>head /qdxtest/qdx5.4/integrator/archiveqdx/hcistats.thupdate.20091118.csv

Anyone have ideas why the FTP command can't find my files? Suggestions on how this could be done differently?

Thanks!
