displaying error while automating ftp

bishweshwar · #1 (**permalink**) 10-31-2006

#!/bin/sh

HOST=HOST_IP
USER=$USER
PASSWD=$PASSWD
FILE="*.htm"

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT

quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
get $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT
exit 0

Is there any way to display appropriate error message if the file is not found on the server......

With verbose on 550 is the error returned for a file not found:

Code:

HOST=HOST_IP
USER=$USER
PASSWD=$PASSWD
FILE="*.htm"

ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT

quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
verbose
get $FILE
quit
END_SCRIPT  | grep -q  "550 $FILE" 
if [[ $? -eq 0 ]] ; then
     echo "$FILE not found"
fi
exit 0

After trying the above code it didn't work.
I hope, is there any method to trap the error codes in a variable...?
please modify the code with the above code with the suggestion.
