The script below worked on my Mac OS X. I'm now using Ubuntu OS, and the script is no longer working. I'm wondering if there's something that I need to change here? I did change the first line from #!/bin/bash to #!/bin/sh, but it's still throwing up an error.... Essentially, I get an error when I try to run it:

Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")

#!/bin/sh
REMOTE='ftp.example.com'
USER='USERNAME'
PASSWORD='PASSWORD'
CMDFILE='/jtmp/rc.ftp'
FTPLOG='/jtmp/ftplog'
PATTERN='SampFile*'

date > $FTPLOG
rm $CMDFILE 2>/dev/null

LISTING=$(ftp -in $REMOTE <<EOF
user $USER $PASSWORD
cd download
ls $PATTERN
quit
EOF )

echo "open $REMOTE" >> $CMDFILE
echo "user $USER $PASSWORD" >> $CMDFILE
echo "verbose" >> $CMDFILE
echo "bin" >> $CMDFILE
echo "cd download" >> $CMDFILE
 for FILE in $LISTING
  do
   echo "get $FILE" >> $CMDFILE
  done
echo "quit" >> $CMDFILE

  ftp -in < $CMDFILE >> $FTPLOG 2>&1

rm $CMDFILE

EDIT

I turned set -v and set -x on and it looks like it's not running the LISTING... Any idea why?

REMOTE='ftp.example.com'
+ REMOTE=ftp.example.com
USER='USERNAME'
+ USER=USERNAME
PASSWORD='PASSWORD'
+ PASSWORD=PASSWORD
CMDFILE='/jtmp/rc.ftp'
+ CMDFILE=/jtmp/rc.ftp
FTPLOG='/jtmp/ftplog'
+ FTPLOG=/jtmp/ftplog

+ PATTERN=SampFile*

  do
   echo "get $FILE" >> $CMDFILE
  done
echo "quit" >> $CMDFILE

  ftp -in < $CMDFILE >> $FTPLOG 2>&1

rm $CMDFILE./inFullRefresh.sh: 34: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting ")")
+1  A: 

I think that <<EOF makes it look for EOF on a line by itself, and EOF ) doesnt count. Try changing

EOF )

to

EOF
)
