Hi, I'm currently stuck in this ftp problem. Normally I just type ftp at the command line, but now I have to implement it in a code.

Basically I have to transfer a .txt file from a server, let's say hkhpdv13 in the folder of /home/sap/ftp to another server hkhpdv15 in the folder /home/sap/ftp/text

I've researched and saw this sample code.

#!/bin/sh
HOST='ftp.users.qwest.net'
USER='yourid'
PASSWD='yourpw'
FILE='file.txt'

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

I don't really know where they get the END_SCRIPT, and also how they transferred to another server there. Help in explaining please?

I want to know how to transfer a file if it switches from one server to another. As well as how do I know if the file transfer was successful or not, is there a code in there? or something any help would be appreciated.
