Problem with FTP Script
 

Hello,
I am having problems getting an ftp script to function properly. My script is as follows.

ftp -n -v -d ServerName <<ENDFTP
$FTPUSER:$FTPPASS
asci
get ./*
bye
ENDFTP

When I run it I get the following message.

Connected to ServerName.
220 (vsFTPd 1.2.0)
---> AUTH GSSAPI
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
---> AUTH KERBEROS_V4
530 Please login with USER and PASS.

---> SYST

---> PORT 174,22,80,249,131,45
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
ftp: bind: Address already in use
---> QUIT
221 Goodbye.

This same script format work on other ftp's.
The server I am trying to connect to is running vsftpd 1.2.2 it was originally running 1.2.0 but I read that this version was better for passive transfer's which is something I need to do.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I found the solution to this problem. Actually I found 2 solutions.

easiest was to just add the -i flag.

ftp -n -i -v -d ServerName <<ENDFTP
$FTPUSER:$FTPPASS
asci
get ./*
bye
ENDFTP

This allowed the connection to go through and the rest of the script to execute.

The other solution I stumbled accross was to use AUTOFTP script to build my shell script.

Either way I got the problem solved.
