"Remote system is type UNIX" tells me you're doing this from the Windows box. Yes, by default a Windows box usually has a ftp client installed but to accept inbound ftp connections the Windows box needs to be a ftp server.

I think we all assume that, since you are posting on a Unix forum here, you are trying to connect from a Unix box to a windows box. Yes??

Right, so before you try and script anything, login as whatever user, and check the infrastructure is in place to support the ftp by invoking ftp from your command line and sending a file over to windows.

/usr/bin/ftp -inv  <<EOF
connect $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD
cd Documents
binary
mput *.sh
bye
EOF

First of all don't put your password in a script! Use the $HOME/.netrc file, which has the format:
Code:
machine <dns or ip address> login <username> password <password>

one machine per line. Now you can get rid of the password in the script. You are also able to change permissions on this file so that only you can read it. As been said earlier, test with manual FTP connections and modify the script accordingly. With my suggestion of using the .netrc file the invocation of ftp will be as follows:
Code:
ftp ${HOST} << EOF

If you're doing this on the Unix box and it's connecting to a Windows box why does it say "Remote system is type UNIX"?
I'd expect to see "Remote system is Windows".

Anybody know why that would happen?

I stumbled across this as well, but it might be part of the welcome message emitted by filezilla on the windows server.

Is the user blacklisted in filezilla on the windows system? Or, does he/she need to be whitelisted? Did you try another user or even anonymous login?
