You appear to be exiting the entire script if ftp returns an error code. This is before looking at $FTPLOG for the reason.
For example:
Quote:
EXITFTP=$?
if test $EXITFTP -ne 0; then echo "ERROR FTP" >> $LOG; exit 3; fi
What is in /SYSTEM/custom/data/MNP/mpgsdev/log/ftp.log ?

What is in /SYSTEM/custom/data/MNP/mpgsdev/log/error.log ?


Points about creating the ftp error log:
Quote:
ftp -n $SECONDARY 2>&1 1> $FTPLOG <<END
I'd prefer this:
Code:
ftp -n $SECONDARY 2>&1 > $FTPLOG <<END

Or preferably (if you are prepared to clear the log after each instance of ftp). I have no idea why this works better with some versions of ftp but it does.
Code:
ftp -n $SECONDARY 2>>${FTPLOG} 1>>${FTPLOG}  <<END


Comments:
1) This script could be approximately one twelfth the size by putting repeated code into functions.

2) Each if the following statements would be better written as a "while" not a "for" because they will fail for large numbers of files or filenames containing space characters:
Code:
ls pattern 2>/dev/null | while read file

Quote:
for file in `ls $PORTIN_FILE_PREFIX*$ACKPATTERN 2>/dev/null`
for file in `ls $PORTOUT_FILE_PREFIX*$ACKPATTERN 2>/dev/null`
for file in `ls $PORTIN_FILE_PREFIX*$COMPLETIONPATTERN 2>/dev/null`
for file in `ls $PORTOUT_FILE_PREFIX*$COMPLETIONPATTERN 2>/dev/null`
for file in `ls $PORTIN_FILE_PREFIX*$ERRORPATTERN $PORTIN_FILE_PREFIX*$REJECTPATTERN 2>/dev/null`
for file in `ls $PORTOUT_FILE_PREFIX*$ERRORPATTERN $PORTOUT_FILE_PREFIX*$REJECTPATTERN 2>/dev/null`
3) With most mainstream ftp implementations you can avoid holding passwords in a script by using a ".netrc" file. However because you are using "quote" I deduce that the target system is not unix.

LEARN ABOUT SUNOS

ftp

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.
