You nearly had it! Smilie You didn't put a ; or newline before the 'do', though.

You don't need to put the filenames in a variable. That could actually be bad -- $FILES will split "file name.pdbgt file2.pdbgt" into "file", "name.pdbgt", "file2.pdbgt". "for FILE in *" won't.

You also don't need to put the ".pdbgt" back on the end, it never left Smilie

Code:
#!/bin/bash
for f in /home/afalk/Desktop/battest/*.pdbqt
do
        vina --config /home/afalk/Desktop/A.txt --ligand "$f"
done

NAME
xzcmp, xzdiff, lzcmp, lzdiff - compare compressed files SYNOPSIS
xzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2] xzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2] lzcmp [cmp_options] file1 [file2] lzdiff [diff_options] file1 [file2] DESCRIPTION
xzcmp and xzdiff invoke cmp(1) or diff(1) on files compressed with xz(1), lzma(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), or lzop(1). All options specified are passed directly to cmp(1) or diff(1). If only one file is specified, then the files compared are file1 (which must have a suffix of a supported compression format) and file1 from which the compression format suffix has been stripped. If two files are specified, then they are uncompressed if necessary and fed to cmp(1) or diff(1). The exit status from cmp(1) or diff(1) is preserved. The names lzcmp and lzdiff are provided for backward compatibility with LZMA Utils. SEE ALSO
cmp(1), diff(1), xz(1), gzip(1), bzip2(1), lzop(1), zdiff(1) BUGS
Messages from the cmp(1) or diff(1) programs refer to temporary filenames instead of those specified. Tukaani 2011-03-19 XZDIFF(1)
