better way is to use advance ftp mechanism.
btw various work arround for that if you have normal ftp method.

you can capture the log and thn do grep/sed etc for finding out various messages related to transferred for failed.

something like:

Code:
count=$(grep -c "No such file or directory" ftp.log)
if [ "${count}" -eq 0 ]; then
  echo "file(s) successfully transferred."
else
  echo "unable to trasferred file(s):"
  ## if file is not found. you can grep the following message.
  grep "No such file or directory" ftp.log |awk '{print $1}' 
fi
