Do Something like below
Code:
cd /your_path
while true; do
        if [ -f your_file.txt ]; then
                break
        else
                sleep 60
                get_data_files
        fi
done
get_data_files()
{
echo "Copying your_file.txt file from ${WINDIR}"
ftp -in $ftp_server << EOF > ~/log.txt 2>&1
user $user_name $pass_word
cd $dir
get your_file.txt
bye
}

}

Missing EOF.
Code:
get_data_files()
{
echo "Copying your_file.txt file from ${WINDIR}"
ftp -in $ftp_server << EOF > ~/log.txt 2>&1
user $user_name $pass_word
cd $dir
get your_file.txt
bye
EOF
}

And I think the functions must be defined before calling them.

Any way to accomplish if the scenario is in this manner?.
The cp utility will have to use creat() (or open(...O_CREAT)) to create the file it is copying to. The mv will have to do the same thing cp does if it is a move across filesystem boundaries, or use link() to create a name for the moved file in the target directory (and unlink() to remove the old name from the source directory) if the move is within a filesystem. All of these can be trapped with dtrace.
