Your script environment isn't the same as your interactive environment.

One thing I see is that you probably use csh or tcsh as your interactive shell. Stop doing that, it will melt your brain.

// is not a valid comment indicator in sh.

The ftp that's being used in your script may or may not be the same as you're using in your interactive shell.
