@KevinMacaraeg - and if you put the actual values into the heredoc vs. using the variables, does it still not work? Try this just to confirm my suspicion.

@KevinMacaraeg - yes but how are they being sourced into the script that's ultimately running the above ftp?

I declared them in the script. I tried adding "tr -d '\r'" in their initialization, and it worked.. it's carriage return is the culprit after all.. do you know how carriage returns' presence in the variables can be prevented?
