problem in exit status of the command in a shell script-FTP
Hi All,

I have developed below script for FTP a file from unix machine to another machine.

ftpToABC ()
{

USER='xyz'
PASSWD='abc'
echo "open xx.yy.zbx.aaa
user $USER $PASSWD
binary
echo "put $1 abc.txt" >> /home/tmp/ftp.$$
echo "quit" >> /home/tmp/ftp.$$
ftp -ivn < /home/tmp/ftp.$$ > /home/temp/ftptraceUnix.$$
if [[$? -ne 0 ]]; then

echo "FTP is failed trying to send the file again"
ftpToABC $1
else
echo "FTP successful.File $1 transferred successfully"
fi

}

Now the problem is even if the file is not transfered it is showing the message as FTP successful. Could you please help me to resolve the problem.

DESCRIPTION

PARAMETERS

	      o $ftp_stream
		- The link identifier of the FTP connection.

	      o $command
		- The SITE command. Note that this parameter isn't escaped so there may be some issues with filenames containing spaces and  other
		characters.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      Sending a SITE command to an ftp server

	      <?php
	      // Connect to FTP server
	      $conn = ftp_connect('ftp.example.com');
	      if (!$conn) die('Unable to connect to ftp.example.com');

	      // Login as "user" with password "pass"
	      if (!ftp_login($conn, 'user', 'pass')) die('Error logging into ftp.example.com');

	      // Issue: "SITE CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile" command to ftp server
	      if (ftp_site($conn, 'CHMOD 0600 /home/user/privatefile')) {
		 echo "Command executed successfully.
";
	      } else {
		 die('Command failed.');
