Do any of your partitions have ~18GB as free space? Do a `df -h` and see

Yes. Many Partitions have 18GB or more free space.

I would like to emphasise on the point again .....

Same Script is able to successfully transfer (FTP) 40GB data when run as user 
root in command prompt. When same script is scheduled in cron for 2345 hrs 
(weekly), script runs and transfer say 18GB of data and terminates with error 

426 Connection closed; Not Enough Disk Space. Aborting..

Hope this clarifies the issue.

Amit
