All, The script is now working, Michael DeSimone made the below suggestion: "The sleep 60 is a Unix command, which you know, but you are at an ftp prompt and that wont work. What you can do though is go to a shell to do the sleep. the only thing you would need to change is sleep 60 to !sleep 60 I added ! to the sleep and it work like a charm... For those interested the script look like this now: #!/bin/sh ftp -n rest.rest1.com << !EOF user test 13now !sleep 60 user forest1 ttree cd /outbound hash prompt bin mget call_sample.txt mget call_detail.txt mget header.txt quit !EOF Thanks for all those that send me suggestions... I really appreciate all the efforts -----Original Message----- From: Allain, Christina Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2004 11:53 AM To: sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org Subject: AUTOMATED FTP WITH TWO LOGINS Hello Gurus, I am writing an automated script that needs to be place in cron job.
