much clarification on the issue i am trying to transfer the file from windows to unix where mput is not working appropriately. i hv declare the variable i which is my files in the given directory and it is not transferring to unix system.

ftp isn't going to "eat" the lines below it. To feed lines into ftp, you'll have to feed lines into ftp. Try writing them into a file first, then ftp < input.txt

echo %%i
set fn=%%i
ftp < open 172.16.2.97
ftp < finacle
ftp < 7018finacle
mput $i
bye
move %%i C:\Ripudaman\VCB\FTP\bkup\.
)

echo complete

:NOFILES
echo There are no files to move

this syntax is correct??

No. You forgot the 'file' part of reading from file.

Running ftp 9 times to run 9 lines isn't going to work either. It won't be the same ftp command.

echo firstline > file.txt
echo secondline >> file.txt
echo thirdline >> file.txt
ftp < file.txt
