prints "couldn't connect" into file descriptor two, i.e. standard error, the traditional place for human readable error messages.

When you run something in a terminal it traditionally gets two independent connections to the terminal, stdout and stderr. stdout is meant for data, so that if you do command | anothercommand | etc they won't be piping their own error messages into each other, but dumping them direct to the screen for you to read.

Remove all indentation before any 'EOF's. Those have to be at the beginning of the line.

Code:
command <<EOF
    something
    something
    EOF

Code:
command <<EOF
    something
    something
EOF

Please do not edit your posts out when I'm answering them.

Please tell me the values of your variables. (Not the username and password, obviously.)

Where did you get the FTP script you started with?

I didn't realize you were getting multiple files... Your description was that of retrieving a single file.

Where are you keeping the original files on the local server?
