Here is a sample of terminating a FTP with "exitonerror" and also shows
you
what FTP variables are set.

/SYS/WORK: ftp ector

Connected to ector (15.113.9.93).  (FTPINFO 40)

Remote system type is MPE/iX
200 TIMEOUT command ok.
ftp> exitonerror
ExitOnError mode on.  (FTPINFO 33)
ftp> put nofile
NONEXISTENT PERMANENT FILE  (FSERR 52)
