If you want ftp to not change the file content then you need to use binary transfer instead of ascii. So try:

ftp -p -n $HOST << EOF
user $USER $PASSWORD 
binary
cd /dest/files4/
put $i
EOF

There are some cases when the script does Error converting from Hebrew to Jibrish.Even Though we put the Binary Command .

ftp -p -n $HOST << EOF
user $USER $PASSWORD 
binary
cd /dest/files4/
put $i
EOF

Please you help .
Thanks .
