Detecting data loss during FTP

Hi,

How we can detect that there has been a data loss during FTP, throught Shell scripting?

I have gone through FTP return codes, but, none indicate that there has been any data loss.

Can we use FTP return code 226 as an indication that during file transfer there has been no data loss? If, yes how good this assumption would be?

TiA,
Sameer.
