Hmm. It seems that didn't help. still getting the same error...

it looks like it can't CD into that directory..

EDIT1:

i fixed that by changing my script a little. and using "FTP" instead of "LFTP". script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#!Configuration
USER=Gudfaren
PASSWD=XXXXX
HOST=ftp.speedgaming.pro
LOCAL=/var/www/match_demos/speedgaming/
REMOTE=89.221.243.11_27500
FILES=*.dem

#!do not change below
cd $LOCAL
ftp -n $HOST <<SCRIPT
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt
binary
cd $REMOTE
mget -f $FILES
quit
SCRIPT

It works. but i want it to not overwrite the existing files on my server that it have already downloaded. And yes. this script will run every 3 hour. So i need to figure out how to make it not overwrite existing files.

systemd-rc-local-generator

SYSTEMD-RC-LOCAL-GENERATOR(8)				    systemd-rc-local-generator				     SYSTEMD-RC-LOCAL-GENERATOR(8)

NAME

       systemd-rc-local-generator - Compatibility generator for starting /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local during boot and shutdown

SYNOPSIS

       /lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-rc-local-generator

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-rc-local-generator is a generator that checks whether /etc/rc.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the
       rc-local.service unit into the boot process. This unit is responsible for running this script during late boot. Note that the script will
       be run with slightly different semantics than the original System V version, which was run "last" in the boot process, which is a concept
       that does not translate to systemd. The script is run after network.target, but in parallel with most other regular system services.

       systemd-rc-local-generator also checks whether /usr/sbin/halt.local exists and is executable, and if it is pulls the halt-local.service
       unit into the shutdown process. This unit is responsible for running this script during later shutdown.

       Support for both /etc/rc.local and /usr/sbin/halt.local is provided for compatibility with specific System V systems only. However, it is
       strongly recommended to avoid making use of these scripts today, and instead provide proper unit files with appropriate dependencies for
       any scripts to run during the boot or shutdown processes.

       systemd-rc-local-generator implements systemd.generator(7).
