For loop with lftp command
Hi Experts,

I am using the below code for lftp with for loop but getting error at line 18.

Not able to understand if am using the for loop wrongly.

Code:
 
#!/bin/bash

FILE='/home/user/d.txt'
FILEName=/home/user/Test/HostName.txt
 
for HOST in $(awk '{ print $0}' $FILEName);do
 
 
user=username
passwd=passw
lftp<<EOF
open sftp://$FILEName
user $user $passwd
get $FILE
dir
EOF
done


Without for loop the lftp and sftp command is working fine.

open sftp://$FILEName

should be $HOST

Same issue

Code:
syntax error: unexpected end of file

is that lftp saying 'syntax error', or your shell saying 'syntax error'?
