Are you getting any error? Or do you get an empty file created for $INPUT_FILE1

Also, you can simplify the last statement to generate the list as follows:

ls -1 $OUTPUT_DIR/*.xml > $INPUT_FILE1

i don't get any error. actually this part is working properly when i run it manually:

ls -ltr | grep xml | awk -F" " '{print "'"${OUTPUT_DIR}"'" "/" $9}' > $INPUT_FILE1

somehow the script is end after finishing the ftp.

even the echo "FTP END:" `date` is not appear on the screen.

thanks,

Can't spot anything wrong as such with the script.

Try putting a "set -x" on the top. That might give insight into whats going on.
