Error Pass Parameter to Another Script
I have a piece of code that I do not want to continuously repeat. I want to call script2 from script1 and pass a parameter. Here is an example:

Script1:
Code:
.......
nohup ./Script2 PARAMETER
.......

Script2:
Code:
if [ -z $1 ] 
# Checks if any params. 
then 
  echo "No parameters passed to function." 
  return 0 
else 

    PARAM = $1
    ftp -vn xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  <<- eof
    user pswd
    bin
    mput * 
    bye
    eof
  fi

fi
