this works fine;

        ftp -n $FTP_HOST <<FTP_TERMINATE
        quote USER $FTP_USER
        quote PASS $FTP_PASS
        bye
        FTP_TERMINATE
        exit 0;

whereas this doesn't

(Toggle Plain Text)

checkFtp() {

        ftp -n $FTP_HOST <<FTP_TERMINATE
        quote USER $FTP_USER
        quote PASS $FTP_PASS
        bye
        FTP_TERMINATE
        exit 0;

}

checkFtp;

It's about the << in the ftp connection... but hell I need them! how do I escape them?

anybody has a clue?!

Cheers,

Seb.
