FTP exit and error codes
I have a script which connects to a remote server via FTP and gets some file from there.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/bin/ftp -n remote.hostname.com <<EOF
quote USER user123
quote PASS password123
lcd /dir1/dir2/dir3
cd /
mget file_pattern*
close
bye
EOF

rc=$?
            if [[ $rc != 0 ]]
            then
            echo "Error occured getting the files...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`
            exit 1
else
  echo "Successful transfer of the files...$rc" `date "+%Y-%m-%d-%H.%M.%S"`
fi

When the files with the mentioned patterns are not available on the server, the script should echo the failure message and exit the script with error code 1, else it should download the files and echo the successful transfer message. However, in my case, it is always returning the successful transfer message even if there are no files on the server with that name. Any suggestions on what needs to be changed?
