Re: FTP Successful completion

As Scott mentions in the intro to his FTPAPI tool..
https://www.scottklement.com/ftpapi/

"After attempting to write a few programs that send files in "batch" mode,
I discovered that properly detecting errors in batch mode was not fun."

I'd highly recommend migrating to FTPAPI over trying to scan the log.
It's easy to use and reliable.

I just resolved a problem with a program using ftp to retrieve a file
where the log was read and was checking for more than just 226.

The program had constants for different completion messages like

226-File successfully transferred
226 Success
etcetera

The web pages I have looked at for ftp completion codes shows


226
Closing data connection. Requested file action successful (for example,
file transfer or file abort).

So my question ...

Is checking the first 3 characters for 226 sufficient to indicate the file
transfer was successful and processing of the retrieved data should
continue.

Thanks
