Jeff,

FTP behaves differently in batch than it does online. When running online
it will prompt you for your username. In batch you must specify the user
command.

Change from:

    open myftp.domain.nam
    username

to:

    open myftp.domain.nam
    user username

and it should work just fine.

Doug.
