Thanks.
I'm sorry I guess I didn't explain myself correctly. This is my existing code:
ftpresults=`ftp -inv $ip_box_name <<EOB
user $userid $password
put $ftp_file $downstream_name
bye
EOB`
ftp_ctr=`echo "$ftpresults" | grep "226 Transfer complete" | wc -l`
echo $ftp_ctr
if [ $ftp_ctr = 1 ]
then
echo "FTP of " $file_name " to " $ip_box_name " was successful"
echo " "
else
ftp_error="true"
fi
In my prior reply, I was trying to say that if I did a grep on "226" alone, a count of 1 would be returned if the bytes transferred were a size which contained "226". I am trying to find something in the return of the ftp to grep. This will allow me to tell me if it was successful. I read the codes that you had passed along in your prior response.
Thanks,
Barbara
