FTP mget * not working after change directory -cd

Hi everyone,

I have an Linux FTP script to get files from different AS400 mailboxes and store in different local directories.
I had to use mget * option becuase there is no fixed destination file name means filename can change.
The following FTP script is working fine if we have single file per mailbox (for ex:- "N0001" file in "TE.TZ.MBOX.XMIT.FPFD" mailbox) .
But if we have multiple files in mailboxes (for ex:- N0001,N0002 in"TE.TZ.MBOX.XMIT.FPFD" mailbox) the following script is not working correctly.

For example :-

if there are these two files in TE.TZ.MBOX.XMIT.FPFD mailbox
N0001
N0002

if there are these two files in TE.TZ.MBOX.XMIT.FPGD mailbox
N0003
N0004

after running the following script, Local dir "/ford/thishost/proj/batch/sonic/server/data/de/fpf" is having N0001 and N0002(good) but local dir "/ford/thishost/proj/batch/sonic/server/data/de/fpg" is still having N0001 and N0002(bad) but its not right as I am expecting N0003 and N0004.

somehow when there are multiple files in each mailbox change directory (cd) command is not working.

Could you please let me know if you have any idea how to fix this issue,

Many thanks in advance.

FTP script is :-

ftp -n <<_LABEL
open ftp.sun.com
user $USERID $PSSWRD
has
cd 'TE.TZ.MBOX.XMIT.FPFD'
lcd /ford/thishost/proj/batch/sonic/server/data/de/fpf

smd-client

smd-client(1)						 Sync Mail Dir (smd) documentation					     smd-client(1)

NAME

       smd-client - receives diffs and performs actions

SYNOPSIS

       smd-client [-v|--verbose] [-d|--dry-run] [-t|--translator]
	     [-l|--local-sync] [--rename-only]
	     [--override-db dbf] endpoint mailboxes

DESCRIPTION

       smd-client needs to know a name (endpoint) for the client (that must not be used by others) and a list of mailboxes (directories).

       smd-client  waits  on  stdin  a mail dir diff. It attempts to execute these actions, eventually asking data printing commands on stdout and
       expecting the data on stdin.

OPTIONS

       -t --translator
	      Specify a program to translate remote mailbox names to local ones. Note that the translator 'cat' (the identity  program)  is  opti-
	      mized away

       -l --local-sync
	      Local synchronization, no changes is made to the db-file since smd-server takes care of it

       --rename-only
	      Do not synchronize the mailboxes but generate the script '~/smd-rename.sh' to uniform the files names in the mailbox

       --override-db dbf
	      Use dbf as the db-file

       -v --verbose
	      Increase program verbosity (printed on stderr)

       -d --dry-run
	      Do not perform any action for real

NOTES

       smd-client is a low level utility. You should use higher level tools like smd-pull(1) and smd-push(1)

SEE ALSO

       mddiff(1), smd-server(1), smd-pull(1), smd-push(1)
