Question Using ftp with bash
hi everybody, is me again... Smilie Now I'm working with FTP, I decide to copy my backup files inside a remote ftp server, I already install and configure my ftp server, I'm using this code to copy a file from my server to the other pc (the final idea is to copy an entire folder):

Code:
#!/bin/bash
HOST="10.31.20.141"
USER="root"
PASSWD="enuma"

#Directorio local de las copias de seguridad
BACKUP="/home/yordan/backup"

#Directorio remoto donde irán las copias de seguridad
REMOTE="/backup"

cd $BAKCUP

#Copia del archivo y renombrado con la fecha
cp archivo.txt archivo1.txt

echo -e "---- BACKUP $(date +%Y%m%d) ----\n" 

ftp -n -v $HOST << EOT
binary
user $USER $PASSWD
prompt

cd $REMOTE                  
mput archivo1.txt
bye
bye
EOTp_$$.log

When I test this code the console show me all this stuffs:

Code:
Connected to 10.31.20.141.
220 TYPSoft FTP Server 1.10 ready...
500 'AUTH': command not understood.
500 'AUTH': command not understood.
KERBEROS_V4 rejected as an authentication type
530 Please login with USER and PASS.
331 Password required for root.
230 User root logged in.
Interactive mode off.
250 CWD command successful. "/D:/backup/" is current directory.
local: archivo1.txt remote: archivo1.txt
local: archivo1.txt: No such file or directory
221 Goodbye!
[root@elastix yordan]#

But at the end, the file was not copied, so, if someone can help me and tell me what is wrong in this bash code, please teach me, because I'm really lost.

thanks
yordan Smilie

Might be this typo in the script:

BACKUP="/home/yordan/backup"
cd $BAKCUP
