I am attempting to ftp some files from a Windows XP SP2 client to a Sun OS
5.6 server by calling an ftp script from a command shell batch file. I have
done this before successfully, but do not seem to be able to do so now. The
host is defined in my local hosts file and I do not have any trouble
connecting and using commands from the ftp prompt. I have tried several
variations of the following (first the calling batch file line, then the
script contents).

ftp -s:example.ftp host

user
username
password
cd /unixdestdir
ascii
send example.txt
quit

I invariably get

331 Password required for username.
530 Login incorrect.

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong, or what other impediments might exist?

this works for me

ftp -s:example.txt ftphostname

and the contents of example.txt

username
password
ascii
cd /destdir
send test.txt
quit

i think just leave out 'user' line from yours
