Thanks again Srikanthus2002. I modified the script as below and now it's working fine. I am able to copy multiple files in 2 seperate time stamped directories. Now, the problem lies in getting a mail after successful/failed FTP. I do not get any mail messege, even after files are copied properly.

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
HOME1=/home/sri
echo " 1"

cd /home/temp
mkdir ftp`date '+%Y%m%d'`
mkdir ftp_verify`date '+%Y%m%d'`

ftp -n server_ip << END_INPUT > /tmp/ftp_files.log 2>&1
user username password
cd $HOME1
prompt
lcd /home/tmp/ftp`date '+%Y%m%d'`
mget *.txt      # copies files correctly
lcd /home/tmp/ftp_verify`date '+%Y%m%d'`
mget *.txt      # copies files correctly
bye
END_INPUT

diff -w ftp`date '+%Y%m%d'` ftp_verify`date '+%Y%m%d'` > /dev/null 

if [ $? -ne 0 ]                                                               
then                                                                       
        echo "Error: Files are not successfully FTP'd"
mailx -r user@server.private.xyz.com -s \'"Files FTP failed'" annonymous@xyz.com  < /tmp/ftp_fail.msg

        exit 1
rm -r ftp_verify`date '+%Y%m%d'`

mailx -r user@server.private.xyz.com -s \'"Files FTP successful'" annonymous@xyz.com  < /tmp/ftp_succ.msg

fi 
exit 0

It looks like you are missing an "else".
Code:
if [ $? -ne 0 ]                                                               
then                                                                       
        echo "Error: Files are not successfully FTP'd"
        mailx -r user@server.private.xyz.com -s \'"Files FTP failed'" annonymous@xyz.com  < /tmp/ftp_fail.msg
        exit 1
else
        rm -r ftp_verify`date '+%Y%m%d'`
        mailx -r user@server.private.xyz.com -s \'"Files FTP successful'" annonymous@xyz.com  < /tmp/ftp_succ.msg
fi

Your code would currently exit on an error, and do nothing on success.

Even after using if....then....else....fi in my code I am not getting any mail messege. I think, somehow "mailx -s" in above script is not working. I don't know, why? Because the same mail command is successful in the script, when I use ftp steps like,

`ftp -vin <<- END_INPUT > tmp/ftp_files.log 2>&1
.....
......
bye
END_INPUT`

But, using this the problem is that mget *.txt, mput *txt is not working. It only works for a single file transfer like, put, get etc. Can anybody please suggest a way to do that?
