2>&1
fd 0 is standard-in, fd 1 is standard-out, and fd 2 is standard-error.
So 2>&1 sends standard-error to standard-out

debug:
When debugging is on, each command that is sent to the remote computer is displayed, preceded by the greater than (>) character.

set -v
This is a verbose option. After you execute set -v, /bin/sh will print each command just after it has been read in. This is useful for tracing syntax problems such as a missing fi or done, and missing or extra quotation marks.

Another usefull one to use is set -x. After you execute set -x, /bin/sh will print each command just before it is executed. This is useful for tracing control flow problems.

But you need to remove the comment(#) to enable the set -v
So this: #set -v becomes this: set -v

I think the best way is to 'scp' and check the return code for successful filetransfer.

I am not able to get the count of files ftped on remote host, in the log file i am creating on local host.
Though i am capturing all ftp msges in log file,i wish that final list of all files ftped along with the count should be included in the generated log.

please help me in the following code written by me.
the nlist value and ftpcount value are not written to log.

ftp -v -n $HOST_NAME >> $LOGFILE 2>$1 <<cmd
user $HOST_USERNAME $HOST_PASS

cd /fut03/data_ca/ftpdir
mput *
