I have a shell script where I am trying to ftp some files but I get the error message "EOF unclosed" every time the script reaches the ftp section. Here is how my script is written.


#more code up here
rm -f $object >> $LOG_FILE 2>&1
fi #end of if
done #end of for loop

#################################################
ftp -n -v -i << EOF >> $LOG 2>&1
open $HOST_ADDRESS
user $HOST_LOGIN $HOST_PASSWD
ascii
lcd $DIR
cd $FTPDIR
mput $REPORT.*
close
quit
EOF
#################################################

This same script works if I take the FTP part and put it in a separate script by itself. But I don't like the idea of having a separate script just for FTP and would like to keep all of the code in the same script, if possible.

Please help on this issue as I am not sure what is wrong here.
