Help! please.

I have a script named ftpput to which i pass the following arguments:

ip - server ip
user - username
pass - password
$1 - name of the file


ftp -n << EOF
verbose
open ip
user user pass
ascii
lcd /domino/notesdata50/prod/cantina_files
put $1
bye
EOF

echo "FTP Terminado"


when i execute the script it gives an error: File Not Found

But the file is there, in the directory.

What am i doing wrong?

Hello lux35.

my first tip is : don´t use $1 for the filename.
Use File="name of the file"

In ftp commands use -put $File-

second tip is : try your commans step by step in comandline by using "ftp"

he can use $1 if, he runs his program like this:
./script.sh file.txt

now i haven't done scripting in a few months, but i think it'll work if you do it pretty much the way you had it.

ip = 56.142.565.451
user = "johnny"
pass = "passwd"

ftp -n << EOF
verbose
open $ip
user $user $pass
ascii
lcd /domino/notesdata50/prod/cantina_files
put $1
bye
EOF

echo "FTP Terminado"

then to run it, it'd be ./script.sh yourfile.txt
