ftp check for failed attempts
Hi,

I have created the below ftp script to put files over to our capacity server, the check at the end works if ftp fails to run however if the script cannot login or the transfer itself failed there is no warnings.

Does anyone know the syntax to trap the erorr codes or to put a check within FTP?

Thanks a million ....

# create an ftp script to move the data to sftp

echo "ftp -v -i -n $SERV <<!EOF" > $FTP
echo "user capacity.ftp C@p@C1ty" >> $FTP
echo "binary" >> $FTP
echo "prompt" >> $FTP

# Find the processed nmon file to be sent to capacity server for processing:

cd $OUTDIR
PDATE=`perl -le '($year,$mon,$day,$hrs,$min)=(localtime(time()-$ARGV[0]))[5,4,3,2,1];printf "%04d%02d%02d_%02d\n",$year+1900,$mon+1,$day,$h
rs,$min' 3600`
TFILE=`ls ${NFILE}_${PDATE}*.csv`


if [ -f ${OUTDIR}/${TFILE} ] ; then

continue

else

logfile "$TFILE is not available for transfer, please investigate and transfer the file."
exit 1
fi


echo "mput $TFILE" >> $FTP
echo "$DATE:$TIME//Transfering $TFILE to $SERV " >> $PROGLOG
echo "!EOF" >> $FTP
chmod 777 $FTP

#$FTP

if [ $? -ne 0 ] ; then

logfile "failed to FTP $TFILE to $SERV"
fi

ftpconfig

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

NAME

       ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP

SYNOPSIS

       ftpconfig [ftpdir]

       ftpconfig -d ftpdir

DESCRIPTION

       The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
       by specifying the user name  ftp or anonymous and the user's email  address as password. The anonymous users  are  logged  on  to  the  FTP
       Server  and  given  access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has  its own minimal system
       files.

       This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the  ftp  user  account,
       creating  device  nodes,  copying  /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data.  The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
       prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server.	The anonymous file area will be placed	under  ftpdir.	If  the  ftp  user
       account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
       command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.

OPTIONS

       -d	Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when  creating  guest
		FTP user accounts.

OPERANDS

       The following operands are supported:

       ftpdir	The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	Successful completion

       1	Improper usage of the command

       2	Command failed
