Hello,

I have a cron task which make a ftp automatically.  I use this syntax:

ftp -n <ftp.file

content of the ftp.file :
open 192.168.0.x
user myuser password
bin
put myfile
quit

My problem, it is that even if the ftp is not able to be connected, the
return code ($?) is "0", because the last command which I send to the ftp it
is "quit".

How can I know if the file it is correctly transfered ?

Thank you!
Olivier

why don't you use wget --passive-ftp?

Other than that, for your ends, a here file in the script would be more
practical methinks, as in:

ftp -n <<ENDCOMMANDS
[ftp commands go here]
ENDCOMMANDS

lg, Bernd
