Perhaps you've already looked at `lftp', http://lftp.yar.ru/ Exit codes of its commands can be used from the shell, e.g., as follows: % set SERVER="ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/"; % lftp -c "open -e 'cat README.TXT' ${SERVER}" > /dev/null && echo "OK" OK % lftp -c "open -e 'cat NOEXIST' ${SERVER}" || echo "FAILED" FAILED Further, lftp commands themselves can use the exit codes of previous commands: % lftp -c "open -e 'ls foo && ls misc' ${SERVER}" ls: Access failed: 404 Not Found (foo) % lftp -c "open -e 'ls foo || ls misc' ${SERVER}" ls: Access failed: 404 Not Found (foo) drwxr-xr-x -- ~ drwxr-xr-x -- ~/pub drwxr-xr-x -- .. drwxr-xr-x -- . drwxr-xr-x - 2007-11-02 00:00 fbsd-compat -rw-r--r-- 1k 2002-04-03 00:00 supfile HTH, Raghavendra. -- N.
