Hi, I am trying to use one ftp script which was written in UNIX, in AIX. When I try to execute the script, I am getting an error like the following.

Unknown option-T.

ftp -n -i -T 3 $host_name 1>>$Ftperr_Filename 2>&1 << FTPBLOCK1

This is the command, in which it is throwing the error. If anybody knows, what is the equivalent for the -T option in AIX, please let me know.
Thanks,

The script is below.

#!/bin/ksh

pwd=$3

dest_dir=$5
echo "ftp begins"

Ftperr_Filename=myftp.ftp.err

if $FILE_TYPE == \"list\"
then
echo "Retrieving from list"
#set -x
for filename in `cat $src_dir/$SOURCE_FILES`
do
echo 'FILE NAME INSIDE SHELL' $filename
echo $filename > $Ftperr_Filename
