The below is a VERY simplified method that works for me. I do a lot of scripted ftp of files between systems and my scripts do a lot of error detection as well as scheduled executions. Sometimes the scripts are called by other scripts. The $DEBUG saves the verbose messages so that you can review ftp sessions in case you need to figure out what went wrong.
