Question

Anyone can help me what will be the problem? login name and password is from .netrc. , < before example.script wont work

  #!/bin/bash
  HOST='192.163.3.3'
  FILE="a.txt"

  while :; do
      ftp -p -v -i $HOST << example.script >> a.log
      grep -qF "Connected" a.log &&
      grep -qF "File successfully transferred" a.log && break
  done

  exit 0

example.script contains

 put $FILE
 quit

And the error is:

 ./example.sh: line 15: syntax error: unexpected end of file

I got this while I’m using sh -vx on my script:

  while :; do
  ftp -p -v -i $HOST < example.script >> a.log
  grep -qF "Connected" a.log &&
  grep -qF "File successfully transferred" a.log && break
  done
  + :
  + ftp -p -v -i 192.163.3.3
  + grep -qF Connected a.log
  grep: a.log: No such file or directory
  + :
  + ftp -p -v -i 192.163.3.3
  + grep -qF Connected a.log
  grep: a.log: No such file or directory
  + :

Note that this code fixes the problem (using < instead of << for the input redirection). The script file is given as exaple.script instead of example.script.

Change your here document << which has nothing to do here! Instead, you mean:

ftp -p -v -i $HOST < example.script >> a.log
