checking the status of file ftp
Hi,
I m new to unix and I need a help in FTp-ing a file.
My script is given below
ftp -n <<END_SCRIPT
open $FTP_HOST
user $FTP_USER $FTP_PASSWD
lcd $TEMPFOLDER
cd $FTP_LOCATION
put $1
bye
END_SCRIPT
exit_status=$?
if [ "$exit_status" -eq "0" ] ; then
log "successfully FTPed the file"
else
log "Failed to FTP the report file"
fi
But the exit _status check doesnt seem to be working. I mean if the FTP_HOST name is given invalid, the exit_status still shows zero.
Can anyone pls tell me how else can I check for the successfult FTP of the file..
