...

them using the script:
#!/bin/sh
HOST=192.168.1.19

/usr/bin/ftp -inv  <<EOF
connect $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD

binary
mput *.sh
bye
EOF
them the error:
./ftpfiles.sh
?Invalid command
Not connected.
Not connected.
Not connected.
You have new mail in /var/mail/root
root@moneta #
using command line works, does not work on the script

Try:

#!/bin/sh
HOST=192.168.1.19

/usr/bin/ftp -inv $HOST <<EOF

binary
mput *.sh
bye
EOF

Andrew:

following your suggestion, I get the following output:

 ./send1.sh
Connected to 192.168.1.19.
220 Microsoft FTP Service

Hi
...
So it worked

But on the very same server using the script:

#!/bin/sh
HOST=192.168.1.19
USER=emm
PASSWD=emm
#printf "PASSWD is $PASSWD \n

/usr/bin/ftp -inv  <<EOF
connect $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD

binary
mput *.sh
bye
EOF

the result is:

./ftpfiles.sh
?Invalid command
Not connected.
Not connected.
Not connected.

connect is not a valid command, that is why you get:

?Invalid command

You should use the open command like this:

#!/bin/sh
HOST=192.168.1.19
USER=emm
PASSWD=emm
#printf "PASSWD is $PASSWD \n

/usr/bin/ftp -inv  <<EOF
open $HOST
user $USER $PASSWD

binary
mput *.sh
bye
EOF
