That is a useless use of cat and useless use of awk, the read builtin does not need cat's help to read files, does not need awk's help to split tokens, and does not need an entire subshell to do a loop.
The -r is to prevent read from doing things if someone has a backslash in their password.
Also, many systems do not have echo -e, I suggest a here-document instead, which should work anywhere.
Code:
while read -r server file user pass
do
ftp -niv $server <<EOF
user $user $pass
binary
passive
get $file
bye
EOF
done < $1

chsh
CHSH(1) User Commands CHSH(1)NAME
chsh - change your login shell
SYNOPSIS
chsh [-s shell] [-l] [-u] [-v] [username]
DESCRIPTION
chsh is used to change your login shell. If a shell is not given on the command line, chsh prompts for one.
chsh is used to change local entries only. Use ypchsh, lchsh or any other implementation for non-local entries.
OPTIONS -s, --shell shell
Specify your login shell.
-l, --list-shells
Print the list of shells listed in /etc/shells and exit.
-u, --help
Print a usage message and exit.
-v, --version
Print version information and exit.
VALID SHELLS
chsh will accept the full pathname of any executable file on the system. However, it will issue a warning if the shell is not listed in
the /etc/shells file. On the other hand, it can also be configured such that it will only accept shells listed in this file, unless you
are root.
EXIT STATUS
Returns 0 if operation was successful, 1 if operation failed or command syntax was not valid.
