Okay, let's back away from scripting it for a moment. Can you try to run FTP from the command line and show the output (obviously obscuring anything sensitive)
I'm hoping you will get something like:-
Code:
$ ftp myserver
Connected to myserver.mycomp.co.uk.
220 MYSERVER FTP server (Version 4.1 Sat Jan 27 11:34:22 CST 2001) ready.
Name (myserver:RBATTE1): RBATTE1
331 Password required for RBATTE1.
Password: 
230 User RBATTE1 logged in.
ftp>

Does this sort of match? If it fails to connect, then it could be a firewall issue. If it opens the connection (login prompt) but rejects you, then it could be userid/password, an entry for your id in /etc/ftpusers or some other locking/security mechanism in play.

What about creating sshkeys and then using scp or rsync?

Read the thread. We're getting to that (I hope)
