Well, I don't know anything about ftp on VSE, but I can tell you that ftp
batch files on MS clients have to be told to suppress automatic log on
(which happens to be -n, which "Suppresses auto-login upon initial
connection."), because the automatic user prompt does not handle being fed
the user name. Rather, like you have below, the script has to specify the
user command.

I have to wonder if the UNIX client is likewise trying to handle user
prompting for you. If so, you might want to see if it will take the user
name. I would think that you might remove user from that line (and you may
need to include the password on the same line as the user name). But that
gives you a script that is different from what you might do on several other
platforms. A better solution would be to suppress the auto-login on your
UNIX client. I could not begin to guess how you do that.

Any sufficiently new technology is indistinguishable from magic,
unless it is reliable. Then it is taken for granted and ignored.
