for x in `cat file` is a useless use of cat and dangerous use of backticks and much better written as a while read loop.

Code:
#!/bin/bash -vx
while read g
do
echo $g
ftp -u $g<<++EOT++
user ftp ftp@anonymous.com
bin
lcd c:\investigate
hash
bell
mget *.*
user <ftp> <ftp@aol.com>
bin
mget  *.*
quit
++EOT++
done < ftphosts.txt

I'm not sure the FTP syntax is right, but that is harder to check -- I can't run it on your FTP after all...

IO::All::FTP(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 IO::All::FTP(3pm)

NAME
IO::All::FTP - Extends IO::All to FTP URLs SYNOPSIS
use IO::All; "hello world " > io('ftp://localhost/test/x'); # save to FTP io('ftp//example.org/pub/xyz') > io('xyz'); # GET to file # two ways of getting a file with a password: $content < io('ftp://me:secret@example.org/xyz'); $content < io('ftp://example.org/xyz')->user('me')->password('secret'); DESCRIPTION
This module extends IO::All for dealing with FTP URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All whenever it sees something that looks like an FTP URL. METHODS
This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "ftp", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::FTP object; or it can also take an FTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('ftp//example.com'), which calls the "ftp" method automatically. OPERATOR OVERLOADING
The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an FTP URL; > PUTs to an FTP URL. SEE ALSO
IO::All::LWP, IO::All, LWP. AUTHORS
