Running a script using service in Debian 10

I am running a Debian 10. That I would like to map a FTP drive on boot up. I have the .sh file that works on its own but when using the ftpconnect.service that I created. With the help of this site posts it does not do any think and shows as inactive (dead)

If I run a command the FTP Drive gets mapped and I can use it.

/mnt/ftpconnect.sh start

But I would like it to start when the system starts. Whilst checking the path to were the drive should be mapped its not connected.

I have tried enabling networ-online.target, Types=simple, User=Root, WorkingDirectory. and restart=on-failure I have redisabled them

This file below is called ftpconnect.service

[Unit]
Description=Maps FTP Bacup to /mnt folder
# After=network.target
# After=systemd-user-sessions.service
# After=network-online.target

[Service]
# User=root
# Type=simple
# PIDFile=/run/my-service.pid
# WorkingDirectory=/mnt/
ExecStart=/mnt/ftpconnect.sh start
#ExecReload=/mnt/ftpconnect.sh reload
#ExecStop=/mnt/ftpconnect.sh stop
# TimeoutSec=30
# Restart=on-failure
# RestartSec=30
# StartLimitInterval=350
# StartLimitBurst=10

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

The .sh file is called ftpconnect.sh and is located in /mnt/ftpconnect.sh

Could anyone help me see what I am doing wrong. As what I have been reading it all looks ok. But clearly I am doing some think wrong.

Solution 1:

Thanks to Michael Hampton. This it what worked for me and the drive now auto mounts

How I did it.

mkdir /mnt/backupdrive    
nano /etc/fstab

Added

curlftpfs#ftp://USERNAME:[email protected]/ /mnt/backupdrive fuse _netdev 0 0

Saved and rebooted the FTP Drive mounted under backupdrive after reboot.

I found that if the below was not added the system would fail due to network. I assume it was trying to run before the network had connected.

_netdev
