FTP script variable issue

Hi ,

I have a following code ,I need to send two files on FTP server using single code
Code:
UDL_FTIHOST_1=podftiapp02.com
UDL_FTIUSER_1=dbsunny
UDL_FTIPWD_1=sunny@11
UDL_FTIHOST_2=podftiapp01.com
UDL_FTIUSER_2=dbamy
UDL_FTIPWD_2=amy@12

count=2

i=1
while [ $i -le $count ]
do
 
FTIHOST=$(echo UDL_FTIHOST_${i})
echo $FTIHOST
FTIUSER=$(echo UDL_FTIUSER_${i})
FTIPWD=$(echo UDL_FTIPWD_${i})


ftp -n -v ${FTIHOST} <<EOF > ${LOGFILE}
cd ..
user ${FTIUSER} ${FTIPWD}

i=`expr $i + 1`
echo "--------------------------------------------------------------"

done >> ${LOG_FILE}

However while executing the above code , FTIHOST assigns the value UDL_FTIHOST_1 and UDL_FTIHOST_2 not podftiapp02.com and podftiapp01.com
respectively.

eg

Code:
ftp -n -v UDL_FTIHOST_1


Similary it is happening for FTIUSER and FTPWD

Thanks a lot for advice

Regards,
Sonu

NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE... DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size A FILE argument that does not exist is created. If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes. Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too. -c, --no-create do not create any files -o, --io-blocks treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes -r, --reference=RFILE base size on RFILE -s, --size=SIZE set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes --help display this help and exit --version output version information and exit The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (pow- ers of 1000). SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of. AUTHOR
