Dear Jack,

Why do you secify the port no 5021 ?
:FTP://192.168.1.23:5021/FTPDIR1/FTPDIR

I think that is the cause of the error?

HtH,

Siva.

Is it FTP:// ?? or ftp:// ? Also, which port does your FTP server run ?

jackizm,

ftp 500 error could be an invalid port number error and as sivakumar suggests try not to use the port number here.

I would suggest trying a manual run of the command by breaking it down instead of running the script.
eg. Assuming that the ftp port 5021 is a valid one

do

#ftp://192.168.1.23:5021

and the cd into the directories after logging in
ftp> cd /FTPDIR1/FTPDIR

this could be a syntax error that may have to be fixed by manual tries.

thanks
DP
