wat it exactly mean ?
ftp -dn 2>&1 <<EOF
You are missing more lines. Somewhere below the the line you show is another line with EOF.
Post all of those lines. What you have now is the first line of a here document.
the manpage will tell you
2>&1means channel both stderr and stdout <<EOFmeans continue to use what come untill "EOF" as data to the ftp execution.
