Put set -x in your script and check if your path and file names are correct.

yes evrting is fine,
when i m giving value manually in the script like 1020 it is pulling the file

mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020tar.gz

the path is correct and also files are there, the only problem is that when i entered the value the FTP is not taking that value and reading the file as

mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz

instead of

value=1020

mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup20081020.tar.gz

Code:
#!/bin/ksh


echo "Enter the month/day"
read value

ftp -v -n ddcappip031.tu.com << "EOF"
user amit jason
prompt
cd /ednpdtu7/u01/pipe/Incoming/CurrentCollector/MeterReads/backupfiles
mget CurrentCollectorMeterReadBackup2008${value}.tar.gz
bye
EOF

Below the complete o/p i m getting now
