Hi all,
 I'm trying to write a script that would connect via FTP to a list of hosts
and download two files.
I've the script working for one host and I'm trying to make it work with an
array of IP.
 You will find the script below. When it runs it gives me a "syntax error:
unexpected end of file" message for the last line (exit 0)
 If I comment all the FTP' stuff, it works (if we can say :-( and in the
while loop I can echo all the variables (like element_count ....) but
uncommenting the ftp lines breaks it.
 I've been googling without any success. I'm wondering whether it's possible
to establish an FTP session in a loop or whether it should another way
(which one) to do it?
 Thanks
 Gaël
 #!/bin/bash
# here is my script

declare -a IP
# All subsequent commands in this script will treat
# the variable "IP" as an array.

# List of all the APC's IP
IP[0]="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"

# parameters common to all the APC UPS
Directory="/"
User="xxx"
Password="xxx"

element_count=${#IP[@]}
# Special syntax to extract number of elements in array.

index=0

set -x
# turn tracing on

while [ "$index" -lt "$element_count" ]
do

ftp -n ${IP[$index]} <<End-Of-Session
# -n option disables auto-logon

user "$User" "$Password"
cd $Directory
get event.txt
get data.txt
bye
End-Of-Session
let "index = $index + 1"

done

set +x
#turn tracing off

exit 0
