In this context what are "snakes in scripts"?

You are starting a here-document with "<<End-Of-Session".  This will
place all content in the file until "End-Of-Session" as stdin to the
'ftp' command on that line.

What is "EOF" there?

The script never finds "End-Of-Session" and so runs into the end of
the file.  That is an error.  Fix your here-document.

Also, with ftp the 'prompt' command toggles and may be making it
interactive.  In these cases it is usually better to use the 'ftp -i'
option instead to force a known state.
