FTP - Invalid command
Hi All,

OS - Linux

I wrote a ftp program to download a file. the file is downloading successfully, but a negative message is prompting.

i placed set -vx in code to trace.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -vx
st_date=$(date)
Logfile=/home/user/ftp_dwnload.$st_date.log
cd /home/usr/data/
print "***START FTP PROCESS*********" >> $Logfile
ftp -n << !
open bexhpunix.comm.com
user setuser1 passwd1
cd /home/usr/data
prompt
get FS_FTP.LOG
bye
!
print "***COMPLETED  FTP PROCESS*******" >> $Logfile
cd /home/usr/data/

message while tracing-

Interactive mode off.
?Invalid command

I'm not sure your here-document is working properly.

You have << ! when I think you need <<!

And be sure the ! that ends it is at the very beginning of the line, not indented.
