Error while connecting to sftp using shell script

I am getting following error while trying to connect to a sftp server:-

ncftpput: cannot open http://mydomain.com: unknown host.

Code which I am using is as following:-

FTPU="username" # ftp login name

FTPP="password" # ftp password

FTPS="http://mydomain.com"# remote ftp server

FTPF="/home" # remote ftp server directory for $FTPU> & $FTPP

LOCALD="/localpath"

ncftpput -m -u $FTPU -p $FTPP $FTPS $FTPF $LOCALD

I am currently running this script on fedora 10...

thanks.....

ncftpput is an FTP client that does not support SSH (see their FAQs). Also, in your script you're providing an HTTP URL instead of just a server name. If mydomain.com actually runs an FTP server, try FTPS=mydomain.com instead.
