Are you running a restricted FTP process for the account? Is it chrooted?

If so, have you copied all files over to the dir area for that restricted FTP account?

[Jose Ramirez_6]

Hi Rick.

I have the files under directory usr

Hi,

Add to your script
export LANG=C

Also ensure to debug by running with ksh -x <script name>, you may find that it gets set or not.

Else put in the .profile
