ftp does not handle result codes well.
You are correct.

Subject: Ftp script condition code 0
When I run ftp scripts I check for the condition code;
but I have found , that when the ftp fails -
say I don't connect - the condition code from the ftp
is always condition code zero.
Why does this occur ? Is there a circumvention to this issue ?
Here is a sample ( simplified ) script :
ftp -i -v clients.dns.name < my_ftp_parms
if [ $? != 0 ]
then
echo "myclient zip ftp error" >> /my/ftp5950/oztcmo.log
mail -s "UNZIP ERRORS" sgly0@ucop.ais.ucla.edu < /my/ftp5950/oztcmo.log
exit 0
