Getting an error EOF : Command no found when using ssh

Question

I am trying to rename the filenames in remote server like filename-dirname.suffix and copy the files to my server . I had written code like ....

  #!/usr/bin/bash
  TRANSFERSERVERXMLS="/emp/transfer/XMLS"
  REMOTESERVERXMLS="remoteemp/empdir/XMLS"

  # renaming the filenames in remote server like filename-dirname.suffix  
  ssh abc@xyz REMOTESERVERXMLS=$REMOTESERVERXMLS 'bash -s'<< 'EOF'

  for i in $REMOTESERVERXMLS/* ; do 
     if [[ -d $i ]]; then
            dirname=$(basename $i)
                     for j in $REMOTESERVERXMLS/$dirname/* ; do

                               fname="$(basename "$j")"

                               prefix=$(echo $fname | awk -F "." 'NF{NF-=1};1')
                               suffix=$(echo $fname | awk -F "." '{print $NF}')

                               target=$prefix-$dirname.$suffix

                                mv $REMOTESERVERXMLS/$dirname/"$fname" $REMOTESERVERXMLS/$dirname/"${target// /_}"
                          done
    fi
  done
  EOF
 scp abc@xyz:${REMOTESERVERXMLS}/*/* ${TRANSFERSERVERXMLS}

Getting an error : EOF:Command not found and scp is not working ( not able to copy into calling server)

Answer 1

You have a space before the delimiter EOF. Do not indent EOF at the end of your "here document". The delimiter (EOF) must be the only thing on the line, with no leading or trailing whitespace.

Alternatively use <<- 'EOF' and indent with a tab.
