Please show the entire script. There's no line 27 in the snippet you posted. (Although one can infer it's the last line).
Are those ^I real text or artefacts (from posting)?

Well isn't that the problem? The here doc (<<- EOF) cannot find EOF, because there is a control character (^I)in front of it.

There is another control character before "ftp"

A here doc introduced by <<- looks for the word with leading <TAB> chars, which are represented by the ^I in e.g. cat -T.
So - if the ^I are real text, you are right, EOF is not found. If they are <TAB>s incorrectly displayed by the posting, the EOF should be found and we need to look elsewhere.

You're right ^I may represent what once was a TAB character...
