ReturnCode Checking for FTP

[Eddie Chen]

Lowell,

         On my AIX and Linux system we don't have fetch installed. I
Googled  "fetch", can't found the download  URL for "fetch".
   It seems "fetch(1)" will get file(s)... We mostly push the file(s) to
the clients.  Thanks.

I've never used return codes with ftp(1),
but I have used them with fetch(1), which
is also part of the base system.

Have you tried fetch?  If it doesn't meet
your needs, can you explain why?
