Hi All.
I need to FTP a file say abc.dat to client server say xyz.ibm.com location /etc/passwd/ibm with user name and password.
I want to make sure my script when FTP the file abc.dat of 1000kb is correctly got transfered with the same contant every time to Clients server how do I confirm the same please reply.

Use sftp OR scp.. Its 100% guaranteed secure and integrity is full proof than ftp. and you need not send across the id and password over a TCP/IP network.
I could do!
how will i confirm whether the file I have transfered is got FPT'd.
If I transfer 100kb file to server(Its believed that some server will have different file size after transfer)...!
Let me clear its all a automated script i dont need to check again and again and confirm this is the file i have transfered!
#!/usr/bin/ksh
ftp -v -n "172.10.10.111" << cmd #( here you can give your server ip of hostname)
user "username" "passwd" #
cd /export/home/amit
lcd /export/home/ibm/
bin
hash
put filename ( you can put the file neme as avaribale and pass it to script)
quit
cmd
Not working 
#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n -v 199.11.22.33
user: abc
password: xyz
cd /home/export/ibm
put abc.dat
bye
:rolleyes: !!!
what part is not working? please be as descriptive as possible.
The crdentials part is not working:
Username password instead auto login it waits for the username to type explicitly after running the script.
#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n -v 199.11.22.33 <<_EOF_
user userNAME userPASSWORD
cd /home/export/ibm
put abc.dat
bye
_EOF_
slightly different way
#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n -v -i 199.11.22.33 <<EOF
quote user abc
quote pass xyz
cd /home/export/ibm
put abc.dat
bye
EOF
I have modified your script try this
#!/bin/ksh
ftp -n -v "199.11.22.33" << cmd
user "abc" "xyz"
cd /home/export/ibm
put abc.dat
quit
cmd
