How to write bash commands inside SFTP [duplicate]

Question

I have the below script to download today's file from the server

#!/bin/sh

IFS='
'
SYS_DT=$(date '+%d%h%Y')
SYS_FILE='BOMExtract_'$SYS_DT'.xlsx'
sshpass -p "123" sftp "admin@XXXX" << 'EOF'
cd /u01/admin/Oracle
lcd /u01/usr
get $SYS_FILE

But it is not taking the value of SYS_FILE in getting command. Can anyone please help to write bash inside sftp commands?

When you put quotes around EOF, variables aren't expanded inside the here-document. — Barmar

You are using sh not bash. Do not expect, that any Bash feature will work in your script. — ceving

I removed the quotes around EOF and that fixed the issue.Thanks Barmar
