I'd expect to see "Remote system is Windows".

Anybody know why that would happen?
I've just downloaded the latest filezilla server onto my Windows box and yes it says Remote system type is UNIX. Looking at the filezilla console you get the message 215 UNIX emulated by FileZilla. Mystery solved?

Stupid question directed at original poster: Did you set up any users within the filezilla server? Using your windows accounts will not work. You have to add username/password/home directory to filezilla.

Hi

I have used the following on a different server:
Code:
 ftp 192.168.1.19
Connected to 192.168.1.19.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
Name (192.168.1.19:root): emm
331 Password required for emm.
Password:
230 User emm logged in.
Remote system type is Windows_NT.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
CHARGINGSYSTEM
GGSN
SGSN
SMSC
SMSGw
exodus.241115
software
226 Transfer complete.
66 bytes received in 0.00017 seconds (382.51 Kbytes/s)
ftp> put collect.sh
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for collect.sh.
226 Transfer complete.
local: collect.sh remote: collect.sh
1288 bytes sent in 0.009 seconds (140.27 Kbytes/s)
ftp> by
221

So it worked

But on the very same server using the script:

Code:
#!/bin/sh
HOST=192.168.1.19
USER=emm
PASSWD=emm
#printf "PASSWD is $PASSWD \n

/usr/bin/ftp -inv  <<EOF
connect $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD

binary
mput *.sh
bye
EOF

the result is:
Code:
./ftpfiles.sh
?Invalid command
Not connected.
Not connected.
Not connected.

As apmcd47 has already said, don't try to put userid/passwd credentials in the script. Put a .netrc file in the home directory under which the script is running. As already said, make sure you get the access rights set read-only for the owner.

Once you've done that typing ftp <hostname> from the command line should just connect instantly.

my home directory of my unix server does not have that file! Should I create?

Code:
 echo $HOME
/moneta_home
bash-3.00$ ls -al
total 6
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     root         512 May 27  2011 .
drwxr-xr-x  80 root     root        2048 Aug 15 10:12 ..
You have new mail in /var/mail/moneta
bash-3.00$

Yes, create a file called .netrc in your home directory.

Put one line in it like this:

machine <ftp target name> login <remote login user> password <password>

Set the file so you own it, and with your main group
Set the mask to 600

Make sure the ftp target name also appears in /etc/hosts with its correct ip address.

Then, when you run "ftp <nodename>" it will look up the name in /etc/hosts to get the ip address, then look for .netrc and if the target node is listed it will use the userid and password from there to connect via ftp. It should just connect instantly without asking for credentials.

None of the above requires a reboot.

this is what I did:

Code:
echo $HOME/.netrc
//.netrc
You have new mail in /var/mail/root
root@moneta # ls -al .netrc
.netrc: No such file or directory
root@moneta #

them vi:

Code:
machine 192.168.1.19 login emm password emm

them:
Code:
chmod 0600 ~/.netrc

them tested:
