Help with Zip and FTP Shell Script
I am trying to combine zip and ftp upload in one script but for some reason I can't get it to work. It zips properly but does not ftp, seems like it just ignores ftp. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!


Code:
#!/bin/sh
cd /home/user/test
zip -r test.zip *
FOLDER='/home/user/test'
ZIPS=$(ls $FOLDER)
for F in $zips ; do
  while [ -n '$(lsof | grep $F' ] ; do
  sleep 1
done
ftp -n <<EOF
open 192.103.229.66
user user pass
binary
put test.zip
EOF
done

Probably best not to use ftp, and use either sftp or rync instead (processes which use ssh).

... and then use sshpass.


See for example;

It doesn't ignore ftp, it just doesn't enter the loop as $zips is unset. *nix is case aware...
