!sleep in ftp ?Invalid command

I have this scripts that seems to be working because I can see the files being trnsferred, but I don't know why in the /var/mail/oracle there are messages as if some commands are wrong;

The script that is being excuted by another script with the at now < command is int the "Cde Snippet" and the oracle cron outpu is the following.
I wonder why this messages and how to make it error free.

Your "at" job on proddb
"/var/spool/cron/atjobs/1225545781.a"

produced the following output:

?Invalid command
Local directory now /proddb/ora6/STARPROD/arc
Interactive mode off.
/usr/bin/sh: !sleep: not found

> more autoftp
 
ftp <ip address>
!sleep 60
lcd /proddb/ora6/STARPROD/arc
prompt off
cd /oradata/WHSEVZW/u03/STARPROD
!sleep 5
bin
!sleep 5
mput *.Z
!sleep 240
quit

I changed the script and included the <<EOF, so I will wait a while to see how it goes.

Authentication is being done by .netrc with a chmod of 600.

But I think blu has the answer as the error has not shown again:

Your "at" job on proddb
"/var/spool/cron/atjobs/1225615694.a"

produced the following output:

Local directory now /proddb/ora6/STARPROD/arc
Interactive mode off.

Waiting for any additional comments to award the points.
