no cyber chat forms please... Smilie

probably i could help with you an idea..

for ftp transfers,
include site checksums to verify the transfer
and the size of the file, whether they do match or not
and of course the successful transfer message ( check from the RFC's ) .

If any of them gives unsatisfactory results then necessarily the job needs to be scheduled.
Kind of more idea would be to have a list of files to be transferred and a marker about the transfer status of the file in a seperate (special) file and update the special file accordingly based on the run.. so next time running by cron.. no need to specify the file to be transferred again

hope that gives an idea

NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and are ignored. Behavior Directives The ftp file supports the following behavior directives: FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default. If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is specified in /etc/default/ftp. ATTRIBUTES
