FTP within a SHELL script

I am running the following on linux (on a mac):
Code:
filename="/Users/thisfilename.txt"
hostname="ftp.mysite.com"
username="myusername"
password="mypassword"
echo '=======FTP========'
ftp -un $hostname <<EOF
quote USER $username
quote PASS $password

binary
put $filename
quit
EOF

I get the following error:

ftp: Invalid URL `n'


If I remove the -n flag, I get the following:
Code:
usage: ftp [-46AadefginpRtvV] [-N netrc] [-o outfile] [-P port] [-q quittime]
           [-r retry] [-s srcaddr] [-T dir,max[,inc]]
           [[user@]host [port]] [host:path[/]] [file:///file]
           [ftp://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/path[/]]
           [http://[user[:pass]@]host[:port]/path] [...]
       ftp -u URL file [...]

anyone have any ideas???

Thanks in advance!!

IO::All::FTP(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					 IO::All::FTP(3pm)

NAME
IO::All::FTP - Extends IO::All to FTP URLs SYNOPSIS
use IO::All; "hello world " > io('ftp://localhost/test/x'); # save to FTP io('ftp//example.org/pub/xyz') > io('xyz'); # GET to file # two ways of getting a file with a password: $content < io('ftp://me:secret@example.org/xyz'); $content < io('ftp://example.org/xyz')->user('me')->password('secret'); DESCRIPTION
This module extends IO::All for dealing with FTP URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All whenever it sees something that looks like an FTP URL. METHODS
This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "ftp", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::FTP object; or it can also take an FTP URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('ftp//example.com'), which calls the "ftp" method automatically. OPERATOR OVERLOADING
The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an FTP URL; > PUTs to an FTP URL. SEE ALSO
IO::All::LWP, IO::All, LWP. AUTHORS
