ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
cd public_html
put $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0
end up placing the file above the public_html direcory? It definitely changed to public_html (as confirmed by pwd). Yet it *always* puts the file above the public_html.
Help!

p.s. is it sad I just tried to dd a line in this box
Is it possible that the server only allows uploads to the public_html directory?
That'd be perfect, but the upload is going above the public_html directory even though a pwd shows that the public_html is the currently selected directory!
Just to make it clear, the upload goes into /home/user/ when I want it to go to /home/user/public_html/
I think ntubski meant the dir above that eg is it possible that write perm is not avail on the public_html dir to the ftp process.
Just because you can cd into it, doesn't mean you can write to it.
Yes it's my machine! Anywho I have got it sorted now, it was a problem with the $FILE parameter. I'd set it to /confirm but FTP translated the / as an instruction to go to the FTP root.
