FTP with shell script


I am trying to upload a file to my webserver using a shell script but I am having a little bit of trouble.

This is what I have so far

ftp -dvin "http://website.com" <<EOF 
      quote USER "user@website.com"
      quote PASS "password"
      put test.txt
      quit


I also tried this code without any success

ftp -n http://website.com << EOF > ~/log.txt 2>&1
user user@website.com password
put test.txt
bye


It isn't really working and this is the first time that I have attempted to upload something with FTP in a shell script.

What am I doing wrong?

Is there a reason that you're using FTP over something more secure like SCP?

Security isn't really an issue for this script, I just want to upload a pre-determined file using a shell script. If scp can upload files via a shell script as well, I wouldn't mind scp advice.

The easiest way I can think of would be to have a key and just do something like this:
scp -i key.pem test.txt user@website.com


Edit: I just saw your other topic - what Daniel, Luke, and Tobias said is correct.

I don't think he really cares about security for whatever he's doing. It seems like he just wants to figure out a way to ftp with a shell script.

If you've figured out an answer to your own problem, you should always tell others how you've figured it out for future purposes.
