if ($? –ne 0 )
then printf “%s\n” “$SCRIPT : ftp transfer failed” >&2
exit 192

Hello Sonya,

always the same reply: you have to study

man ftp

and some tutorial of shell programming. There is no other way how to proceed. Look at the paragraph "Hier document".

I repeat my question: what Unix do you use? The line endif is illegal in ksh or bash or sh shell script.

Good luck!
