Hi , I wrote a function but it is showing still errors, simply i am connected my ftp server and copying files and put it on ftp server.

This is what i have done.

$cat test
TEST()
{
ftp -n -v <<-EOF
open 192.168.0.108
user mohan hellohowru
binary
case
cd $HOME/prod/smdss/files/
mget req_detail*
bye
EOF
}
TEST

$./test
./test: line 16: syntax error: unexpected end of file
$

Why iam getting error.

Regards,
franky

Hi,

What Unix and what shell is it ?

I just tried it on Linux with bash, and on AIX with bash and ksh, there it worked every time.

Maybe either the current shell has a problem with functions, or there are mabye funny non-printable characters in the script, that don't show up in the cat?

Maybe put a she-bang like

#!/usr/bin/bash

at the start, to execute it with a specifc shell.

Oh, and make shure there is no blank before or after the second "EOF"
