Thanks to everyone who responded!
I used the basic structure that Neeraj Lal provided and modified to fit my
situation a little better. Below is the syntax that I used and below that is
Neeraj's response. At the very bottom is my original post.
My Syntax:
ftp -n -v < $tmp_file > $err 2>&1
grep 'Transfer complete.' $err > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
then
some command
else
some other command
fi
Neeraj's Suggestion:
cat $DATA_DIR/scriptx.ftp | ftp -v -n > $DATA_DIR/ftp.err
grep 'Transfer completed successfully.' $DATA_DIR/ftp.err > /dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
do something
else
report error
fi
