One minor addition to all the other replies about why it won't work......  I
once did a test where it seems you can have mpe 'if', commands & end-ifs
within the ftp input, like trying to get a file and then setting a variable if
the get succeeded while ftp is still running, instead of waiting till after
you exit.

condition and says that it is going to ignore till it finds the matching
endif, but is still processing the lines inbetween.  Am I missing something?
Or FTP does not care about the 'IF'?
