What does this error mean

What does this error mean:

We only support non-print format, sorry.

That isn't an error from a Unix utility or the shell.

You need to tell us what you're doing - exactly.

trying to automate ftping of files

what program is giving that error?

Can you post your script so we can see what's going on?

Looks to me like it could be some kind of response from the target FTP server as to the type of command/filetype being sent?!?

As Johnny 5 would say "More Information"

Ta,

Did you try to STFW?
