I am using the following code in a C Shell script to transfer files to a remote server:
This code works great except on those rare occasions when the remote server is down or, for whatever reason, fails. This causes my code to fail and makes my already tense users angry. This code runs on both Unix and Linux. Is there a way to force a retry after a specified time period if there is a failure of the ftp command? Also, is there a way to make the hash mark print at something other than every 8192 bytes (something more like every GB)?
Hi there,
I am in the process of writing a shell script to transfer files to a remote directory. Is there a method to determine the success or the failure of the ftp process.
Regards

DESCRIPTION
The Framed Access Command Environment Interface (FACE) presents your files and file folders on the screen through a system of menus and
forms if you are properly set up as a FACE user.
filename must follow the naming convention Menu.xxx for a menu, Form.xxx for a form, and Text.xxx for a text file, where xxx is any string
that conforms to the UNIX system file naming conventions. The Form and Menu Language Interpreter (FMLI) descriptor lifetime will be
ignored for all frames opened by argument to face. These frames have a lifetime of immortal by default. If filename is not specified on the
command line, the FACE Menu will be opened along with those objects specified by the
LOGINWIN environment variables. These variables are found in the user's .environ file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-a alias_file Alias file
-c command_file Command file
-i init_file Initial file
