FTP-Shell scripting

Hi Everybody,

I have come across a problem while doing FTP using shell scripting. So I request any of you can give some idea of how to go about solving the problem but i request you not to give the solution please. Because i'm a java developer newly into Unix shell progrmming and am very enthu to learn things.
Below is the description:

I'm doing FTP of multiple files of multiple directories from Unix environment to non-Unix environment.I'm able to FTP the files successfully but i want to check whether each file is successfully transmitted or not If it is not successfully transmitted then i have to resend the particular file. For this i thought of doing FTP second time so that i will get the uploaded file back and comute the check sum of both files then i can confirm about the FTP transmission,But to me it doesnt seem to be good design as it involves getting the files which leads to extra overhead.

So if any one can throw some light how to proceed it would be very great.

Thanks in advance,

ftpusers

FTPUSERS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FTPUSERS(5)

NAME

       ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon

DESCRIPTION

       The  text  file	ftpusers  contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  This file is
       used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked	environment.   It  will  typically
       contain	a  list  of  the  users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
       server daemon.  Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.  If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers  then  it	is
       suggested  that	you  read  its	documentation  to find out how to block access for certain users.  Washington University FTP server Daemon
       (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

   Format
       The format of ftpusers is very simple.  There is one account name (or username) per line.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/ftpusers

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
