Re: Successful FTP?

Have done this, but don't have it in front of me, it was a while back, 
built a couple of commands based on a command that was in MC, I believe...

Our commands are FTPGET6K and FTPPUT6K, think that they override an 
output file, then start the ftp session, then read and parse that file to 
see whether the success string was in it. If you need to know, I can look 
on Monday... Think that the command used as a starting point was in the 
95/12 MC...
