Thanks Girish!!
I am able to connect to remote host and also able to ftp the files there.
The problem that now i am facing is i want to take the count of files ftped.

I have taken the count on local host, say in var1 before ftping.
Now i want to take the count on remote host ,say in var2 and want to compare both of them to ensure successful ftp of all the files.

Still i am not able to determine the scope of these variables and also how to get value in var2.

Looking forward for help,
Thanks!
