Hi Experts,

I am building a csv extract file in my shell script. At the end of the script I have to ftp the file to a remote server.
I am using the code below:

REMOTE_USER_ID="app1"
REMOTE_USER_PWD="newpass1"
REMOTE_SERVER_PATH="/app1/soft/common_data_load/log"

## Logic for building the csv file

cd ${csv_filepath}
ftp -n ${REMOTE_SERVER} <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER ${REMOTE_USER_ID}
quote PASS ${REMOTE_USER_PWD}
cd ${REMOTE_SERVER_PATH}
put pc_extract.csv
quit
END_SCRIPT

exit 0

When I run this shell script I get the error below:

Login incorrect.
Please login with USER and PASS.
Please login with USER and PASS.
Please login with USER and PASS.

What can be wrong here? I am confident that the user/pass supplied is correct.

REMOTE_SERVER variable is missing.
Try -v -d options for ftp for debugging more info.

Thanks Sudhamacs.

REMOTE_SERVER variable is present in the script. I forgot to put it here

Think this should work:

ftp -n ${REMOTE_SERVER} <<END_SCRIPT
user  ${REMOTE_USER_ID} ${REMOTE_USER_PWD}
prompt
bin
cd ${REMOTE_SERVER_PATH}
put pc_extract.csv
quit
END_SCRIPT

Thanks Tytalus.

I tried this option but it is failing too
with the same error....

Login incorrect.
Login failed.
Interactive mode off.
Please login with USER and PASS.
Please login with USER and PASS.
Please login with USER and PASS.
Please login with USER and PASS.

Script from Tytalus looks ok to me. It just looks like a wrong username or password for that server (or blank server parameter?). If the server parameter is blank, ftp defaults to the local machine.

Maybe try typing the commands at the command prompt.

Thanks a lot Tytalus and Methyl. I tried again and it worked this time.
