? YES, they are there, all files.
That isn't an answer. You said the format of your filenames is:
Code:
abcd_deft_2018-02-21_100012
abcd_mnpo_2018-02-21_100020

but your code looks for filenames ending with .txt. Which form is correct? Is there a .txt at the end of your filenames or not?

Does
Code:
LOCALPATH='/opt/abc/Output'

exist? YES

What's its contents? All files that I need to send via ftp!
Show us the output from the command:
Code:
ls -l /opt/abc/Output/*2018-02-21_10*

Quote:
Problem is how to write the code in this line(below) so that it can read and send the files:
Code:
put abcd_part_$DATE_(What should i write here?).txt

What are you trying to do? Are you trying to put all files matching a pattern found in a local directory into a directory on a remote system? Or, are you trying to get all files matching a pattern found in a directory on a remote system into a local directory?
