Did you issue the command

	% ftp -v 0.0.0.0

(where 0.0.0.0 refers to the "machine" identifier in .netrc)?

Looks valid to me, but you could do this more easily, at least
for testing:

	% cd /var/temp
	% ftp VJ:123456@0.0.0.0/ftp/newemp.db

This should get you the file into the correct directory.

That's not the correct way to call the ftp program.

For sure it does, as described in the manpage.

See my example above.

At the moment, it doesn't seem that you "send" a file per
FTP, but "receive" one. This can also be achieved through
the .netrc file, but to make sure everything works ON BOTH
SIDES of the connection, try the ftp command given above
where the needed information is "hardcoded". You can add
the -v parameter, too.

If you require more help, describe more exactly what you're
intending to do.
