there's no here-doc for the sftp block.
How do you expect this to work?
What are all these '| tee ' commands on the right?

Brrrr......

The tee commands append the output of the commands(outside) sftp to the log file.
What's a here-doc.
The SFTP portion works just fine.. but when i parameterize it doesnt work..

Forgive me if I seem to out of my mind - Its end of day and was a had week for me...
my 2 cents:
On top of RudiC remarks above
I dont quite understand this line ( the use??)
Code:
echo "Remote host is: $REMOTE_SERVER"                                                                           | tee -a $LOG_FILEPATH/$LOG_FILENAME

the tee that is which can lead to some strange issues...
and now:
Code:
sftp $USERNAME@$REMOTE_SERVER -omode=ascii >> $LOG_FILEPATH/$LOG_FILENAME  2>&1                        	        
ls /+showall																									
ls /+ mode=text,recfm=fb,lrecl=80,space=trk.8.1,release															
##quote site file=jes
pwd																												
lcd $LOCAL_DIRECTORY
lpwd																											
$DIRECTION $LOCAL_FILENAME $REMOTE_FILENAME																		
ls $REMOTE_FILENAME																								
cd //$REMOTE_DIRECTORY																							
ls /+mode=text,jesjobwait																						
lcd $BIN_PATH																									
lpwd																											
$DIRECTION $LOCAL_JOBNAME $REMOTE_JOBNAME																		
ls $REMOTE_JOBNAME																								
get /+/error.log 																								
quit
.
.
.

Please forgive me if Im worng but I have a very poor eyesight this week... Typos as well...
This looks like a heredoc syntax , and if it is the case then there is something wrong in the syntax as I see not the << redirection though
I suppose the quit must be in relation or I am missing even more in trying to understand the given code

So?

For our new member

This explains what a here-doc is:

Here Documents

My understanding is the sftp works fine when in interactive mode and you transcribed down what you want your batch script to do

most sftp have a -b option for batch mode too...
