Your code worked for me

I copy/pasted your code snippet into a new bash script, changed the username, password, testfile, and FTP server, then it ran just fine.

Try changing the first line to:
Code:
#!/bin/bash -xv

You can get a better idea of where it's failing.

You can't put a "sleep" between the "<<EOD" and "EOD" since FTP doesn't understand that command.

If you're missing bytes, you probably need to issue a "bin" (binary) command prior to your "put", otherwise the end-of-line character can get affected. FTP transfers over ASCII mode by default.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
USER='xxx'
PASSWD='xxx'

ftp -n <<EOD
open xxx
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
bin
put /path/to/test.pdf
quit
EOD
exit 0

Also, the FTP "put" command with a single argument implies the location of the local file is the same as the remote file, so if you do this:

Code:
put /path/to/file.txt

You are telling FTP to upload the local file /path/to/file.txt to the FTP's remote directory /path/to/, which may not exist. Perhaps you mean to do this:

Code:
put /path/to/file.txt file.txt

COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1)					    http://en.opensuse.org/Sco					      COMMAND-NOT-FOUND(1)

NAME
command-not-found - A command-not-found handler SYNOPSIS
command-not-found {binary_name} {repository} ARGUMENTS
The following arguments are required: binary_name The name of binary you are looking for. repository The name of repository for search. For most cases, use zypp DESCRIPTION
command-not-found handler is designed to tell users which package contains a missing command. The handler is integrated to bash(1) and zsh(1) shells and is not necessary to call it directly. Just type a name of the command in your favourite shell and you'll get a result. If you consider c-n-f handler useless, just add unset command_not_found_handle to your profile or remove the command-not-found package. Handler doesn't call the command-not-found binary directly, it only prints info about it. If you want to invoke it automatically, just add export COMMAND_NOT_FOUND_AUTO=1 to your bash profile. EXAMPLE
: NORMAL USAGE For example you want to try blender, because you have heard that is an amazing program. So just type blender in shell: $ blender You get the following output: The program 'blender' can be found in the following package: * blender [ path: /usr/bin/blender, repository: zypp (openSUSE 11.1-0) ] Try installing with: sudo zypper install blender bash: blender: command not found SEE ALSO
