Re: Can I check FTP return code in Pro*C

Er, 'no' would have been my response...

Sure, you can check the ftp 'exit status', but all that will tell you is if ftp successfully 'exited' - which of course it normally does. It will *not* tell you if the commands you ran whilst in ftp were successful - in fact, they could have all failed.

Either drop a lower level and program in API calls (using sockets), or get you ftp commands to pipe some output to a log file, which you then parse for errors. I tend to grab both local and remote directory listings and do a compare on them to make sure my ftp's worked OK.
