Thank you for your reply zaxxon.
I didn't get any error and its hanging while executing..
don't know the mistake in the script.

At which point/command is it hanging?
When you try the commands manually exactly as they are in the script, does this work?

rajesh, shouldn't you be using put instead of the get, if you are sending a file across?
