Code:

... and post the output here.

I asked you to just use 4 question marks instead of ${value}.

Yes . I have made changes in the previous post i m able to do dir

There is no filename with a 1020 in it.

Just checked it - when you use -v on ftp you should get a message like

Code:

450 blabla: No such file or directory

What happens if you use get instead of mget?

yes there is file on ddcappip031.tu.com

path is : ednpdtu7/u01/pipe/Incoming/CurrentCollector/MeterReads/backupfiles

Filename: CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz

ls -ltr CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz


-rw-r----- 1 pipe pipe 144570660 Oct 20 23:08 CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
the problem is that in FTP is not recognising the value of $value as 1020
when using FTP -v it is showing

550 CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz: No such file or directory

I tried with both mget and get option

There is nothing wrong with the script version in Post #3. Note that the single quotes have been removed to allow expansion of ${value} .
The error message in Post #3 suggests that you have hit an old Linux bug in the FTP daemon. Either apply fixes or try specifying a directory name (with ./) on the mget line.

mget ./CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz
