Thanks Alan, I'll include those. To come up with error messages I was simply forcing the ftp to fail (via the script) for a number of reasons and reviewed the results. Most of our FTPing is done to one particular system, but that's not always the case.
I appreciate the feedback.

Excellent, I'm going to have to review Scott's API. However I recently wrote a FTP Scripting service program. It currently uses SQL to check the output for:
D FTP_STS_HOST1 S 13a Inz( 'Unknown host%' )
D FTP_STS_HOST2 S 17a Inz( 'Cannot find host%' )
D FTP_STS_LOGIN S 32a Inz( '530 Login or Password +
D incorrect.' )
D FTP_STS_OK1 C '226 File received ok.'
D FTP_STS_OK2 C '226 Transfer complete.'
D STS_BADLOGIN C 'Failed to Login: '
D STS_BADSERVER C 'Failed to Connect to Server: '

I've not used it, but does this tell you what confirmation messages may be received?

Hello group,
Is it possible to get an actual delivery confirmation of an FTP function
after I have delivered IFS files to a remote location?
Can this be achieved in a single command stream?
We had an incident were the remote location effectively responded the PING
but the documents were lost.
At the moment our Batch FTP outbound process only checks for an abnormal
error of the plain FTP command.
Would it be sufficient and reliable to inspect the verbose of the FTP
Output?
Just wondering and looking for your assistance.
Thanks in advance for your answers and recommendations
