Strange behavoiur in script.

2008-12-22 07:57

hi!
I hope you may help me to fix this strange behaviour!
here is the script sequence:

option batch abort
option confirm off
open ftp://xxxx:yyyy@192.168.1.160:21 -passive
lcd Out
option transfer binary
cd out
get *.*
close

The problem is that this script does not end and loops on something like that:

At what stage do you get the loop? Can you post a complete log file?
