Bash FTP Script
Hello, I have a bash script used to telnet and transfer files which works great. Trying to FTP to a box that does not support telnet. Been told to use ssh to the user@someIPaddress. I can log in manually but can't seem to make this script work. And help would be appreciated.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
HOST=ssh user@x.x.x.x
USER=user    
PASSWD=passwd
cd /home/
chmod 700 *
list_file=` file`


ftp -nv <<-!x
open $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD
cd /home/somedir
binary
put $list_file
bye
!x
exit 0

Did you try....
Code:
scp file user@x.x.x.x:

Transfer your key to do this without specifying a password

It did not work.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
HOST=scp file user@x.x.x.x
USER=user    
#PASSWD=passwd
cd /home/somedir
list_file=` file`


ftp -nv <<-!x
open $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD
cd  /somedir/
binary
put $list_file
bye
!x
exit 0

Here is the error message
Code:
 cannot open: No such file or directory

The scp should replace your entire ftp command.
