How to check whether files are transferred or not using ftp?

Hi,

i want to execute a shell script which transfers files from one server to another using ftp in unix. How can i check whether the ftp is successful or not.(i.e files are transferred to destination server). because if i am checking the return code of ftp, it always shows 0 (denoting ftp is success). but when i check the remote server , the files are not transferred. can any1 help me out.. my sample code for ftp is

Code:
ECHO="/bin/echo -e"

        ftp -n $REMOTE_MC <<_FTP1
                quote USER $REMOTE_UID
                quote PASS $REMOTE_PWD
                lcd $LOCAL_FOLDER
                cd $REMOTE_FOLDER
                prompt noprompt
                binary
                mput $LOCAL_FNAME
                quit
_FTP1
  
        RC=$?
        $ECHO "RC = $RC"
        if [ $RC -eq 0 ]; then
                $ECHO "FTP successfull....."
         else
                $ECHO "FTP failed"
         fi
