Is there any way to use .netrc with internal mercator ftp? It pulls as a url, so it appears to go through the http vs the ftp engine.....

Don't think so, FTP adapter is pretty generic, to work with as many FTP servers as possible.

So it won't work with netrc then? I would think that if it's generic FTP then it sould look for it, especially since the trace looks like normal ftp. Could it be that it does not get the $HOME environment variable?

I would have to see both the FTP command line and the verbose trace. -tv
What version of the product are you using and what FTP server on what platform are you connecting to?
Basically, if you go to the command line and do a simple FTP hostname type FTP, we should be able to do the same unless you use some more complex commands. If you can do the FTP your require from the command line, you can save the session into a command file and run the command file from a batch or shell adapter and then be able to do some FTP options the adapter does not support.

From what I read on netrc you have to be sure $HOME is set.
I modified hostnames/ips/emails for sec reasons, but here is the output from command line, and mercator. It's simply not picking up the .netrc file. I have a default statement for all ftps not in the list that it does not pick up.
Commandline FTP:

I didn't need all the retries just one was enough, We don't use anything other than what is being passed into the FTP command line and what seems to be there is the anon. log in. You might want to read in the .netrc file and pass the information to the command line in a RUN map over-ride.
We won't pick up the .netrc information any other way.
