Thanks for ur reply
Actually i did a mistake in the code i wrote the following piece of code below
ret_val=`ftp -n> $file.log <<E
#ret_val=`ftp -n << !
so after the tilde symbol it as again taking the '# ' as a special character so it was giving error, so i removed the second line now its working fine.
