FTP Status verification
(In my case, I am sending files to a remote location).

In very general terms, I would look for the number of occurrences of lines in the log file starting with the value (string) "226 ". I would expect one of these for each successfully-transferred file. Obviously, to use this technique you need to know how many files you are sending at the outset. Often, but not always, this is straightforward to calculate in advance and retain in a shell variable for comparisons later.
