FTP Missing files

Hi guys.
I need a help. I have a process that a copy a couple of files to my customer FTP in each workday hours.
But, sometimes, my customer says that I didn't copy this file to the FTP and I have all log in my system that I copied the file. My customer doesn't belive in my log. He thinks that my system has a problem.
My question is: is there a safety way to copy the files to FTP folders and make sure that they were there?
I think that could be a problem in their system. He can copy 1 file and delete the others one, for example.

tks.

In your ftp script you could do a 'ls' for each file you transferred which will prove/disprove the file(s) exists on target host, For example:

Code:

$ cat test_ftp.sh

# test_ftp.sh
ftp -vn xxx.yyy.com <<ENDSCRIPT >>/tmp/list.txt
user zzzzz password
cd /tmp
lcd /tmp
put test.txt
ls test.txt
quit
ENDSCRIPT

$ cat /tmp/list.txt

Connected to xxx.yyy.com.
220-Warning: Authorized Personnel Only. All activities are monitored
220-
220 xxx.yyy.com FTP server ready.
331 Password required for zzzzz.
230 User zzzzz logged in.
250 CWD command successful.
Local directory now /tmp
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for test.txt.
