The reason for that is interactive prompting by the FTP client. You need to code the FTP script as follows:

--contents of junk.ftp--
open 10.5.1.100
quote user ftp
quote pass ftp
cd /var/ftp/incoming
type ascii
get installPrep.sh
bye
--contents of junk.ftp--

Now you fire up FTP and *disable* it's interactive prompting using the -n switch, i.e.

C:\> ftp -n -s:junk.ftp

Of course, this has absolutely _nothing_ to do with Oracle. :-)
