>Description:

I am using our base system ftp to download things in a script, for example
the MD5 file of a release build on the auto build cluster, and then all sets
mentioned in the file. Basic usage: ftp -o $dir/$file $url

Happens rarely, but sometimes a download fails (networking issue or whatever).

It would be nice if ftp(1) would report this failure in its exit status.
