You say in your title "unable mv file to other location". What exactly does your script do?

Code:
rm ftp://ftp.log

You can't run rm on a URL. It only works on local files.
Code:
ftp -n $hostname <<EOF >>ftp.lpg
user=$user
password=$Password
lcd home/user/test
cd target
type binary
put $c
bye
EOF
quit

why do you have quit outside of the <<EOF ... EOF block? I think that's supposed to go to the FTP, isn't it?

Code:
cd /home/user/test
mv $c /home/user/test/archive

Once you cd, $c is no longer in the same folder as you and 'mv $c ...' will not work.

There's no point cd-ing to that directory when you're giving the full path to the destination anyway. Just leave out the cd entirely.

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.
