sftp is not an ftp substitute, it's just ftp-like. Adapting it often means rewriting.

That script looks kind of silly from the get-go, honestly. Why write to a file when you can feed it in directly?

How about:

Code:
sftp username@host <<EOF
cd ${FTPDIR}
lcd ${GETDIR}
mget ${FileName}*${SRC_OKFILE_XTN_1}
bye
EOF

On some systems, you should do sftp -b. If you don't have that option, you're not one of those systems.

Do not indent the last EOF, or the here-document will never end.

What key files do you have?

There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd. EXIT STATUS
