Checking FTP server file exist or not
I am trying to delete old file in ftp server, after transferring new file successfully .
but here i am checking both the file available or not using ls command.
if both the file available means i need to get file_new and file_old file size as greater than zero.
but i am getting only for file_new file size as greater than zero.not for file_old file.
why ls command not working here twice.

code:
Code:
ftp -vn $TARGET_SERVER > ${FTP_OUTPUT_FILE} 2> ${FTP_ERROR_FILE} << cmd
quote USER #####
quote PASS #####
cd TEST
put Newfile
ls Newfile file_new
ls oldfile file_old
bye
cmd

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
