The PATH shell variable has a very special meaning in any shell based on Bourne shell syntax. It is used to specify a list of directory that will be searched to find utilities that are being executed by your script when the commands used to execute those utilities do not you absolute pathnames.

So when you execute the command:
Code:
PATH=$1

on line 8 in your script, you create a problem that causes your script to fail 36 lines later. Choose a different variable name and change your script to consistently use that revised variable name.

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
