Upload file to FTP Server in %post

Hi All,

I am using RHEL 5.2 and within my %post, I would like to upload a file to an
anonymous enabled FTP server.

Here's what I am doing.

%post
     cat <<NETRC > /root/.netrc
machine <SERVER_IP>
login anonymous
password ^M
NETRC

     ftp -i <SERVER_IP> <<EOF
put /root/${TAR_FILE_NAME}.gpg
system_to_rebuild/<HOSTNAME>/${TAR_FILE_NAME}.gpg
quit
EOF

I am not sure what went wrong here.  When I run this scriptlet standalone in
a shell, it runs successfully.
However when run within Anaconda, it doesn't work.  I couldn't see the file
being uploaded to my FTP server.

Any idea?

Thanks,

David
