[Sanjay Kumar Suri]

You can do the following. Put the following in a script file say a.sh.

ftp -n << EOF
open xxxxxxxxxxx
user name passwd
cd /xxx/yyyy
ascii
get filename
quit
EOF

And execute with

#sh a.sh > out

Hi Hari,

you still can take no action within the ftp script. I don't think, that's possible.
