it kinda works, i have no error anymore, in fact i have nothing because it stopped working... any ideas why that happened? i believe it skipped the command... how will i be able to tell if it skips the command?

whoo! no error.. excpet now i believe it is now skipping the command somehow, any idea how to check?
Given the limited information, my guess as to what was happening follows. I've highlighted in red what's being treated as standard input to the ftp command.

FILE="/var/mobile/file(iPhone).tar.gz"
ftp -i -n $FTPSERVER << EOF #> /dev/null 2>&1
user $USER $PASS

EOF
You weren't intending to send an actual string of "EOF" into the ftp client, but that's what was happening. You were just getting lucky. While you intended "EOF" to mark the end of standard input to the ftp command, since there's a space before "EOF" it wasn't being recognized as the delimiter. Instead, the end of the standard input stream to the ftp command was actually occurring at the end of the script file itself, just after "EOF". The ftp client either silently ignored the "EOF" input it was given or it wrote an error message which was missed or redirected to /dev/null. At a higher level, the shell itself did not complain because it had nothing pending when it reached the end of the script; it simply closed the standard input to the ftp command and exited. As far as the shell is concerned, there's no syntax error.
With your newer version, however, the shell sees a problem.

if [ "$SYSTEM" = "Mac OS X" ]; then

USER="username"
PASS='password'
FTPSERVER="myserver.com"

pwd
put $FILE

EOF
fi
if [ "$SYSTEM" = "iPhone OS" ]; then
tar -czf "file(iPhone).tar.gz" "/var/mobile/" > /dev/null 2>&1
USER="username"
PASS='password'
FTPSERVER="myserver.com"
FILE="/var/mobile/file(iPhone).tar.gz"
ftp -i -n $FTPSERVER << EOF #> /dev/null 2>&1
user $USER $PASS
bin
pwd
put $FILE
bye
EOF
fi
The if statement at the very top, beginning with the "if" keyword highlighted in blue, is unterminated when the shell reaches the end of the file.
With this version, beginning with the first line after the first "<< EOF" here-doc redirection, everything that follows is being treated as standard input to the ftp command. When the shell reaches the end of the script, it treats that as the end of the standard input stream to ftp. However, all of this is occuring within an if statement. The shell's parser, upon encountering the end of the script file, complains about the unexpected end of file because it's still looking for the if-statement's terminating "fi".

You can use "set -x" near the top of the script to see what the shell is doing. This enables tracing. Once you figure out what's going on, remove it.
Thanks so much, but how do you suggest i fix it? the file was uploading fine before, leading me to believe that it was fine before, but it doesnt now.. and i am simply unable to see any way of fixing...
You could help us help you by posting the code in its current form, exactly as you're using it. Tell us how you're calling the script. Add a line with 'set -x' at the top of the script (after any shebang line if any, such as #!/bin/sh). Post the resulting output and all error messages. Describe in full what occurred and how that differs from what you expected.
Otherwise, it's all just shots in the dark.

Alister

Obviously, you'll want to obfuscate any sensitive info that you'd rather not share, such as usernames, passwords, hostnames, etc.

I need archive data from some tar files. I use the command "tar xvf
