SIGTTOU Error in FTP process
Hi,
I am getting the [2] + Stopped (SIGTTOU) error while trying to FTP some files.Here is what am doing:

I have database sitting on the UNIX box.I have a table where i stored the ipaddress,username and password.Now i have a script,when run,goes to the database,takes the ipaddress,username and password and then FTP the file into the ipaddress.
I have a list of ipaddress.This works fine for some of them and for others,i get the above error.

can anyone please tell me the reason for this and also probable solution to get rid of this error.

Thanks alot in advance.

SIGTTOU in POSIX means the process running in the background attempted to write to the tty. It's not a fatal error, usually, and you can trap it in the shell.

Is there a log that shows the actual ftp return code?
