FTP client is hanging very rarely!

Hi,

I have a script in which I am using ftp to transfer some files from remote -> local and vice versa, this scripts is invoked by cron. for your reference I am sharing the function also :

=============================================
Code:
fn_FileTransfer_LocalToRemote() 
{
	set -x
	ftplog=${FTP_LOG}

	ftp -v -n ${1} <<EOF > $ftplog
	open ${1}
	user ${2} ${3}
	cd ${5}
	pwd
	lcd ${4}
	binary
	put ${6}
	bye
EOF
}

================================================

Now my problem here is that I can see some of the hanged client ftp processes when I issue "ps -ef | grep ftp" but this is very rare and till now it happend only 3 times while this is running from a long time.

I have checked in FTP server, I can not see any socket connection established for client, but at client side I can see.

Any idea what is going wrong?

Thanks,
Anshuman
