Re: FTP Successful completion

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
