UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I am new to cron and am trying to set a cron job that will run everyday at 2 to go out to a server (via ftp with user name and password) and get a file and then bring it back to my sever. Below is what I have but it doesn't seem to be working. Any help would be appreciated.

cron command - will run everyday at 2
02***$HOME/html/cron.txt

file named cron.txt (file contents)
#!/bin/sh
HOST="ftp host name"
USER="username"
PASSWD="password"
FILE=mon1.mp3

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0


Thanks for any advice.

An eyeroll doesn't help, but can you point me in a direction that will help.

Thanks

You mean you say you want to get a file and yet your script says put?

Thanks, I will change to get $FILE
