Kent,
<snip> As I recall you need to FTPLASTERR variables after you exit. <snip>


The problem is that FTP continues to process commands after an error and
before exiting.

So if you had a script that looked like:

FTP> EXITONERROR
FTP> GET filename
  failure occurs here
FTP> DELETE filename
FTP> EXIT
: IF FTPLASTERR ...

Too late you lost your file.

Not acceptable!
