KSH Script/FTP (NEWBIE)
I trying to write a ksh script (without the help of the Kermit libraries) which connects to a ftp server and checks if the file "KEI.done" exists. If the file exists it print "files is there" if it doesnt exist it prints "file is not there". (the print statements will later be replaced with code to process the file) Can someone please help me write a pice of code which can acoomplish this.

Thanks,
John

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
export username="$1"
export password="$2"
export nodename="$3"
export LOG="./logfile"
export filename="/path/to/file/KEI.done"
export CMDFILE="./test.cmd"
{
  echo "verbose"
  echo "open $nodename"
  echo "user $username $password"
  echo "ls $filename"
  echo "quit"
} >$CMDFILE
ftp -n < $CMDFILE > $LOG 2>&1
grep -q "not found" $LOG
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
	echo "$filename is not there"
else
    echo "$filename is there"
fi	
exit 0

getting an error
I am getting the following error:

run1.ksh[16]: 0403-057 Syntax error at line 16 : `}' is not expected.

I am guessing its due to this block

{
echo "verbose"
echo "open $nodename"
echo "user $username $password"
echo "ls $filename"
echo "quit"
} >$CMDFILE

any ideas?
