Make sure SCRIPT1 is at the beginning of the line and perfectly matches <<SCRIPT1. If there's any mistake, the here-document may become the entire script.

Your code after the FTP is wrong, too.

Code:
if [ "$?" -eq 0 ]
then
        echo 'successful file transfer'
else
        echo 'Error in ftp'
fi  >> $path/return

thank you so much, it really worked. Its with the spaces thats causing the problem at the end SCRIPT1 tag.

Please make sure what when you post your code, you post your real code, all of your real code, word for word, letter for letter, keystroke for keystroke, in code tags!! If I hadn't seen a similar problem recently I'd have never guessed Smilie
