ftp provides return codes. It does not return an error to the shell normally. If you read the responses from ftp you can determine on a per file basis the status of each transfer.
1nn == acknowledgement of your request
2nn == sucess
3nn 4nn == problems
This is a simplifcation, but it works for most situations
Since you are interested in all files, you have to track each file transfer and look for an error.
mput will give errors as well, plus when you use mput, you need the -i option
Code:
ftp -i -n
The reason for one-at-a-time is so you can pick up where you left off, plus I am assuming the files are large, so ftp reconnects take only a tiny amount of time compared to transfers.
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
BACKUPDIR="/export/home/myuser/backup"
status=0
HOST='ftp.xyz.com'
USER='user@xyz.com'
PASSWD='abc'
#FILE='*.gz'
for FILE in *.fz
do
status=0
echo "Processing $FILE"
ftp -n $HOST <<END_SCRIPT | grep '^2' && status=1
quote USER $USER
quote PASS $PASSWD
verbose
lcd $BACKUPDIR
cd backups/source
binary
put $FILE
quit
bye
END_SCRIPT
if [[ $status -eq 0 ]] ; then
echo "$FILE failed to transfer"
break # this makes the code end early
else
echo "$FILE sent ok"
fi
done
if [[ $status -eq 1 ]] ; then
cd $BACKUPDIR
rm *.gz
echo 'successful completion'
else
echo 'Failure.'
exit 1
fi
exit 0
