How can I get an error code that indicates something went wrong with
the FTP step in a script?

For example, in the following script...

ftp -i -n asapas4 <<HERE
put mydata
quit
HERE
echo $?

echo always prints a zero even though host asapas4 doesn't exist.

Thanks.

use -v option to get a detail output
redirect it to a file
grep that file for return code
e.g. 330 440 550 660........
ok?
