Determining the failure or success of FTP
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
Jim

Are you asking if there is a process to CHECK that the ftp transfer went through?

OR

Are you asking if the data that was sent during the ftp transfer is valid - and - can you check for that?

Hi there,

The case exactly as follows, I am sending data to a directory which might could get full, in this case if the shell script is transferring files it will fail, at this point I want to know if the process will fail.

Simple E.g. with 1 file and 1 liner
======================
echo "put $FILE" | ftp $SRVNM # Only one file here

if test `echo "ls $FILE" | ftp $SRVNM | grep -v "No such file or directory" | grep -c $FILE` -ne 1; then

echo "$FILE not at $SRVNM"

fi

Log the messages from the ftp session, then grep for success, e.g...

ftp <<! > /tmp/ftpout.$$
: put file
!
grep -q 226 /tmp/ftpout.$$ || echo error

Note that this method only works if you are sending one file at a time.
