Here we go. Totally untested and unwarrented. Rearranged your script to logical order and inserted a function to do the ftp. Removed all lines which become unneeded. Re-ordered your ftp lines because you must log in before issuing commands and also appended a "bye".

Code:

LOGFILE=/srv/udl/logs/udl_ftp2fti.log

# Parameters for first transfer
UDL_FTIHOST_1=podftiapp02.com
UDL_FTIUSER_1=dbsunny
UDL_FTIPWD_1=sunny@11
INPUTFILE_1=ADDR3.ALL
target_dir_1=".."
FTP_FILE_1=NVS.DWG.P.GBRSWUDL.ADDR3

# Parameters for second transfer
UDL_FTIHOST_2=podftiapp01.com
UDL_FTIUSER_2=dbamy
UDL_FTIPWD_2=amy@12
INPUTFILE_2="PCPSWAB1.UNDELV.DWNL.TRILL(+1)"
target_dir_2="trillium"
FTP_FILE_2=PCPSWAB1.UNDELV.DWNL.TRILL-900-TEXT.u


transferfile ()
{
echo "Connecting to FTP server to send UDL file...."
ftp -n -v $1 <<EOF >> ${LOGFILE}
user $2 $3
ascii
lcd $4
cd $6
put $5 $7
bye
EOF
}
########################
# Processing starts here
########################
# First transfer
transferfile "${UDL_FTIHOST_1}" "${UDL_FTIUSER_1}" "${UDL_FTIPWD_1}" \
             "${UDL_FTIPWD_1}" "${INPUTFILE_1}" \
             "${target_dir_1}" "${FTP_FILE_1}" 
# Second transfer
transferfile "${UDL_FTIHOST_2}" "${UDL_FTIUSER_2}" "${UDL_FTIPWD_2}" \
             "${UDL_FTIPWD_2}" "${INPUTFILE_2}" \
             "${target_dir_2}" "${FTP_FILE_2}"

There is still a lot which could go wrong with this script. Most versions of ftp do not like funny filenames or funny characters in passwords.
Good luck.
