I had the same sort of issue. For FTP, I used a function within the script (matter of preference I guess) The program was dependant upon a file that was retrieved nightly from an FTP server. Instead of trying to resolve the correct return code from FTP, I focused
on evaluating the result of the FTP - the file itself. If it
was there, then everything was cool. If not, well, fail. I also checked for an empty file and exited if it was.

just noticed your doing a "put" and not a "get"...oh well...maybe this will still spark an idea or two.

Code:

ftp_func () {
ftp -v -n $TO_HOST << ENDFTP
user $USERNAME $PASSWORD
ascii
prompt off
hash on
lcd $FILE_DIR
get $INPUT_FILE_NAME
bye
ENDFTP
}
if [ ! -r $FILE_DIR/$INPUT_FILE_NAME  ]			 
	      then
	         echo "ERROR-APP-->: FTP Process Has Failed or FTP Server Unavailable." | tee -a $INLOG
		 	   else
	       echo "INFO-->: FTP Process Completed Successfully!" >> $INLOG
		           fi
test -s $FILE_DIR/$INPUT_FILE_NAME

FILE_TEST=$?

if [ $FILE_TEST -gt 0 ]
   then
      echo "INFO-->: $INPUT_FILE_NAME Is An Empty File. Skipping SQL*LOADER Process!" | tee -a $INLOG
      echo "INFO-->: FTP Completed Successfully" >> $INLOG
exit $SUCCESS
   else
      echo "INFO-->: Completed File Check - Starting SQL*LOADER Process." | tee -a $INLOG
fi
