FTP return value

Hi guys,
I am having a problem to determine if the FTP request I had was successful or not... Here is what I do:
In a shell script I call another shell script to do the FTP like:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
echo "Hello..."
...
# call do_ftp.sh
do_ftp.sh $SERVER $USR $PASS $FILE....

status=$?
if [ status -ne 0 ]; then
  echo "FTP error"
else
  echo "FTP OK"
fi

and do_ftp.sh is like below:

Code:

exec 4>&1
ftp -inv >&4 2>&4 |&

print -p open $FTPSERVER
print -p user $USER $PASSWD
print -p lcd $OUTPUTDIR
print -p binary
print -p put $ZIPFILE 
print -p quit

but even if I pass wrong parameters, status would always be equal 0.
I've tried using inline redirection or "value=do_ftp.sh ..."
and so and so but I am not getting anywhere...

I'd appreciate any help...
