550 : Cannot creat file error on ftp

[Donald Whitaker]

I am trying to ftp a file to a remote system. This process works fine when I execute the script that does the ftp, directly from my session, but I would like a script to call the script that does the ftp. When I run script to call the script. The ftp command connects to the remote and can execute commands but when it tries to put a file, I get the message "Cannot create file".

Here are my scripts:
#!/bin/sh
#
set -x
ftp -v 63.134.XXX.XXX <cd test
put $1
dir
quit
EOT

I use a .netrc file for connecting and the above works fine from a session. If I use this script to run it:

. /home/rehrig/v63yor/ftpcmd.sh /users/banker/myfile.txt

I get a cannot create file error.
Here is my output:
PROD:/users/banker>ftptest
+ ftp -v 63.134.xxx.xxx
+ 0<<
cd test
put /users/banker/edi810.txt
dir
quit
Connected to 63.134.xxx.xxx.

If I use an ftp client tool I can read
and write from the remote computer just fine,
so I don't think its an issue with the remote.
Any help will be much appreciated with points.
Thanks

I see only one script (and the name of

And what was "$1" when it worked?

> put /users/banker/edi810.txt

That doesn't look to me like a very good file
name to use on a Windows system.
