FTP not working UNIX - shell

hi i have a script where i am performing sudo and going to particular directory,and within that directory editing files name as required. After getting required file name i want to FTP files on windows machine but script after reading FTP commands says-:
-bash: line 19: quote: command not found
-bash: line 20: quote: command not found
-bash: line 21: put: command not found
-bash: line 22: quit: command not found
My ftp is working if i run normally so it is some other problem.Script is below-:
#!/usr/bin/
path=/global/u70/glob
echo password | sudo -S -l
sudo /usr/bin/su - glob << 'EOF'
#ls -lrt
cd "$path"
pwd
for entry in $(ls -r)
do
if [ "$entry" = "ADM" ];then
cd "$entry"
FileName=$(ls -t | head -n1)
echo "$FileName"
FileNameIniKey=$(ls -t | head -n1 | cut -c 12-20)
echo "$FileNameIniKey"
echo "$xmlFileName" >> "$xmlFileNameIniKey.ini"
chmod 755 "$FileName"
chmod 755 "$FileNameIniKey.ini"
ftp -n hostname
quote USER ftp
quote PASS
put "$FileName"
quit
rm "$FileNameIniKey.ini"
fi
done
EOF

You can improve your questions and make them easier to answer and more useful for future readers by including a minimal, self-contained example. Here's an example:
#!/bin/bash
ftp -n mirrors.rit.edu
quote user anonymous
quote pass mypass
ls
When executed, you get a manual FTP session instead of a file listing:
$ ./myscript
Trying 2620:8d:8000:15:225:90ff:fefd:344c...
Connected to smoke.rc.rit.edu.
220 Welcome to mirrors.rit.edu.
ftp>
The problem is that you're assuming that a script is a series of strings that are automatically typed into a terminal. This is not true. It's a series of commands that are executed one after another.
Nothing happens with quote user anonymous until AFTER ftp has exited, and then it's run as a shell command instead of being written to the ftp command.
Instead, specify login credentials on the command line and then include commands in a here document:
ftp -n "ftp://anonymous:passwd#mirrors.rit.edu" << end
ls
end
This works as expected:
$ ./myscript
Trying 2620:8d:8000:15:225:90ff:fefd:344c...
Connected to smoke.rc.rit.edu.
220 Welcome to mirrors.rit.edu.

Check if file exists remotly in bash

I have a bashscript which checks if a file exists on the remote server.
When i execute this bashscript on commandline it works fine and say to me the file exist (as it should). But when crontab is executing this bashscript it says that the file not exist (although it would exist
).
can anybody help me?
myscript.sh
#!/bin/bash
if $(sudo ssh -i <path/to/ssh/keys> <user>#<ip> "[[ -f /etc/ssl/file.txt ]]");then
echo "exist"
else
echo "not exist"
fi
crontab:
*/1 * * * * bash /home/user/myscript.sh | mail -s "betreff" user#email.com
stderr: (when i run the script on the commandline)
++ sudo ssh -i <path/to/ssh/keys> <user>#<ip> '[ -f /etc/ssl/file.txt ]'
+ echo exist
exist
stderr: (when i run the script in cron)
++ sudo ssh -i <path/to/ssh/key> <user>#<ip> '[ -f /etc/ssl/file.txt ]'
Warning: Identity file /root/.ssh/key/keyfile not accessible: No such file or directory.

Thanks for helping :D

sudo without password is not giving any output

all "myscript.sh" does right now is echo "hello".
[jack#server1 scripts]$ ./myscript.sh
hello
the root user gave me the option to run the script as root without a password but when I do, the script doesn't print the "hello"
[jack#server1 scripts]$ sudo ./myscript.sh
Password:
[jack#server1 scripts]$
what am I doing wrong here? do I need to add some kind of switch ?
I don't see anything about this in man sudo
by the way, obviously I don't have root access to configure anything about this
this is the content of the script:
#!/bin/bash +xv
echo "hello"
and about the permissions and ownership:
[jack#server1 scripts]$ls -l myscript.sh
-rwxrwxr-x 1 jack SiteAdmin 1279 Dec 4 07:54 myscript.sh

chown directory in bash

I am trying to chown a home directory test for an bash script. I need this functionality because of syncthing which is not syncing the ownerships.
#!/bin/bash
user=test
"chown $user:$user /home/$user"
When I use the above script, I get a message "test.sh: line 5: chown test:test ~/home/test/: No such file or directory
"
Output of
ls -l /home/ |grep test
drwx------ 5 pwresettest 1005 121 2. Nov 04:23 pwresettest
drwx------ 14 test 1001 4096 29. Okt 05:41 test
When I am using the command on the commandline, it works without problems.
Did I do something wrong?
The shell treats the quoted string as a single word to as the name of the command, rather than a command name followed by arguments. Simply take off the quotes you've added in your script:
#!/bin/bash
user=test
chown $user:$user /home/$user
When you use chown on the command line you aren't quoting the entire command. Don't do that in the script either. – Etan Reisner

./script.sh: line 8: /etc/passwd: Permission denied

I have this script which I can't execute:
#!/bin/bash
USERS="/etc/passwd"
for user in `$USERS | cut -f 1 -d ':'`
do
echo $user
done
This is the output of ls -l script.sh:
-rwxrwxrwx 1 user user 94 Jul 30 21:24 script.sh
What am I doing wrong? :|
I also tried running it as root and with sudo and nothing worked...it's annoying...
You're trying to execute /etc/passwd and send the output to cut. You want to redirect the contents of the file:
for user in `cut -f 1 -d : < $USERS`

Error building SCP command syntax in read loop

I'm trying to get a list of files copied by SCP from one server to another but the command seems not to be getting build correctly in the read loop.
I have a file called diff_tapes.txt which contains a list of files to be copied as follows:
/VAULT14/TEST_V14/634001
/VAULT14/TEST_V14/634002
/VAULT14/TEST_V14/634003
/VAULT14/TEST_V14/634004
etc etc...
The bash command line I'm using is as follows:
while read line; do scp -p bill#lgrdcpvtsa:$line $line;done < /home/bill/diff_tapes.txt
When I execute that from the command line (I'm running on CentOS so basically Red Hat) I get:
/VAULT14/TEST_V14/634001: No such file or directory
... for every single file.
If I run again adding the -v switch to get more info, I see the following:
debug1: Sending command: scp -v -p -f /VAULT14/TEST_V14/634001
The remote server (lgrdcpvtsa) definitely has the files in question:
[bill#LGRDCPVTSA TEST_V14]$ pwd
/VAULT14/TEST_V14
[bill#LGRDCPVTSA TEST_V14]$ ls -ll
total 207200
-rw------- 1 bill bill 27263700 Apr 26 11:16 634001
-rw------- 1 bill bill 27263700 Apr 26 11:16 634002
-rw------- 1 bill bill 27263700 Apr 26 11:16 634003
-rw------- 1 bill bill 27263700 Apr 26 11:16 634004
It's as though the second time I have $line in the scp command, it's ignored.
Any idea what's wrong with the syntax?
EDIT:
For clarity, the list of files is more likely to be like this:
/VAULT14/634100_V14/634001
/VAULT11/601100_V11/601011
/VAULT12/510200_V12/510192
And /VAULT10 through /VAULT14 exists on both servers, it's just the next folder node might not.
These files are files flagged as being different on local vs remote machine, hence copying from the remote machine which is the correct data source, so a recursive copy won't work here (I think the -r switch was a hangover from an earlier test so I've removed that from the code above).
The error is probably because the local directory /VAULT14/TEST_V14/ does not exist.
You can use the dirname command to get the directory name from the path, create the directory, and then executing the scp command. Example
while read line; do mkdir -p "$(dirname "$line")"; scp -rp bill#lgrdcpvtsa:"$line" "$line";done < /home/bill/diff_tapes.txt
The -p option tells mkdir to create the subdirectories even if the parent does not exist.
EDIT:
This was copying all the files to / so have changed to the following which is working perfectly:
while read line; do mkdir -p "$(dirname "$line")"; scp -p bill#lgrdcpvtsa:"$line" "$line";done < /home/bill/diff_tapes.txt
/VAULT14/TEST_V14/634001: No such file or directory
This is likely because the folder /VAULT14/TEST_V14/ does not exist on the local machine.
Result:
mkdir /VAULT14/TEST14
while read line; do
scp -p bill#lgrdcpvtsa:"$line" "$line"
done < /home/bill/diff_tapes.txt
