That '$' is a special character in scripting languages. So it will need to be escaped. So try changing your password variable so its in quotations, this should eliminate the special characters.

Here is the script. As noted before it worked from 2007 when we ftp'ed to a local server(physical) but since we moved to virtual servers and specifying a domain it has failed.
BUT it does work manually
date
fname1=/lib1/scrpt/ftp_last_bk1.chk
fname2=/lib1/scrpt/ftpbk1.chk
cmp $fname1 $fname2
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
echo 'bk1 file match begin ftp'
else
echo " no match stop ftp"
exit 0
fi
USER=DOMAIN\\\\USERID
PW="PASSWORD"
ftp -n -v -i IP.ADD.RE.SS PORT# << EOF
user $USER $PW
bin
lcd /xbackup
prompt off
put backup files*
quit
EOF

thanks
