List the file names available on FTP server before selecting the required file

Below is my script code.which shows the environment name and then fetch the file from the ftp server but I am facing one issue.The script should be run in both way.We can pass the arguments with script and select the environment name then file name.Here the issue is I am not able to list the files which are residing on the ftp server server so that the user can select the file.

Code:

#!/bin/bash
HOST='ftp.npq.net'
USER='xyz'
PASSWD='abc'
UNZIP='unzip $FILE'
LIST='ls -al'
#File_List='`ls -al`'
export Env="?TBD?";

## Set the following variable.
##
set_Env ()
{
 ## Fetching the Env from where the Build deliverable requiered (last option).
prompt_Env;
}

prompt_Env ()
{
echo -e "\nSelect the Enviornment Name\n";
sleep 1;
select Env in dv pf qa ig pp pn exit;
 do
  if [[ -n ${Env} ]]; then
    echo -e "\n\n - You selected: \"${Env}\"\n"
    break;
  else
    echo -e "\n\n - Invalid selection \"${REPLY}\"...Please try again.\n";
  fi
done
 if [[ ${Env} == "exit" ]]; then
  summary=$(
  echo -e "\n#################### FTP process - Aborted ####################\n";
  echo -e "Warning: User gracefully selected \"${Env}\" option to abort the script operation. Exiting with exit_code=151.";);
  echo "${summary}";
  exit 0;
  fi
}
#prompt_env;
#echo -e "Enter the Name of the file:";
#read FILE;
#DIRECTORY=TRAM/"${Env}"
#if [[ -z ${1} ]]; then
#prompt_env;
#fi

#set "${@}";
for ((i=1;$#>=$i;i++))
do
  argn="\${"$i"}";
  argn="$(eval echo $argn)";
  case "${argn%%=*}=" in
  "Env=")
   Env="${argn#*=}";
   Env="${Env:=?TBD?}";
  ;;
 esac
done

## Check arguments and set them if reqd.
## -------------------------------------

for arg in "Env=${Env}";
do
  ## Get Var=Val pair
  var="${arg%=*}";
  val="${arg#*=}";

  ## Check if mandatory params are not valid, set them if reqd.
  if [[ "${val}" == "?TBD?" ]]; then
     set_${var};
  fi
done

DIRECTORY=TRAM/"${Env}"

echo -n "ENTER the name of the file:";
read FILE
ftp -n $HOST << EOT
ascii
user $USER $PASSWD
cd $DIRECTORY
$LIST
get $FILE
bye
EOT
unzip $FILE
rm $FILE

ftpconfig

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME

       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS

       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
       by specifying the user name  ftp or anonymous and the user's email  address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its own minimal system
       files.

       This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the  ftp  user  account,
       creating  device  nodes,  copying  /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.  The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
       prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server.	The anonymous file area will be placed	under  ftpdir.	If  the  ftp  user
       account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
       command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -d	Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when  creating  guest
		FTP user accounts.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion

       1	Improper usage of the command

       2	Command failed
