Hello group,

Is it possible to get an actual delivery confirmation of an FTP function
after I have delivered IFS files to a remote location?
Can this be achieved in a single command stream?

We had an incident were the remote location effectively responded the PING
but the documents were lost.
At the moment our Batch FTP outbound process only checks for an abnormal
error of the plain FTP command.

Would it be sufficient and reliable to inspect the verbose of the FTP
Output?

Just wondering and looking for your assistance.

Thanks in advance for your answers and recommendations

Hi Jorge

We usually include a DIR command at the end of the transfer to check
the file listing on the remote server has the files we uploaded. After
the session is closed another routine processes the log to make sure
all response codes were as expected - if not it emails the log to our
helpdesk team to investigate further. It's worked well for us so far.

Regards, Martin
