No return code in ftp mget script
I have a automated FTP script that gets a file using mget. I am using mget because the date will change on the file frequently. The mget works, however if I incorrectly type the file (e.g. if I want to get /dog123 and I enter /dg*) I do not receive and error code from in the FTP session. The script works fine, however if I incorrectly type the location ($ftp_source) I want to receive an error saying the file was not found. Any thoughts?

I am trying to get the file /dog123 however I have purposely given the incorrect $ftp_source /dg* I would like receive an error.

if [ "$ftp_type" = "mget" ]
then
ftp -dinv <<End_FTPSession 1>$FTPLOG 2>>$FTPLOG
open $ftp_hostname
user $ftp_username $ftp_password
lcd $ftp_local_dir
$ftp_mode
#FTP mode is binary
$ftp_type $ftp_source
#type is mget, source is /dg*
close
quit
End_FTPSession
fi
