Handling ftp error

I have a script which connects to remote server and ftp the files
It works fine, however if there is any failure in ftp connection can it be handled???

Code:

ftp log

ftp session start time is: Thu Jun 19 00:00:02 BST 2008
Not connected.
Not connected.
Interactive mode off.
Not connected.
Not connected.
Not connected.
success and proceed
ftp session end time is: Thu Jun 19 00:01:18 BST 2008

I have tried the following, but in vain

ftp -n $HOST > /tmp/ftp.worked 2> /tmp/ftp.failed <<END_SCRIPT
<code>
END_SCRIPT

EXITSTATUS=$?
if [ $EXITSTATUS != "0" ]
then
# handle the error...
fi

Can someone please help me?

Thanks
