Not that I know of - when we did ftp jobs, we transmitted an ok-flag file, a simple empty file sent after the data file itself to at least signal the datafile was transmitted.

Or have the -v for your ftp and check/parse the 3 digit ftp codes in front of the operations like for example:

Code:
331 Password required for root.
230 User root logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
