If you don't mind making the whole thing WAAAY to long, try something like

ftp> someftpcommand
ftp> :if ftplasterr <> n or ftplastmsg = "x" or ftplastreply = 'y'
ftp> :     showvar ftp@
ftp> :    quit abort die-right now
ftp> :endif
ftp> nextftpcommand
ftp> :if ........

Lastmsg & lastreply might not always be set, so you might need to initialize
them first.  And you might need to start with just ':showvar ftp@' between
every line just to see what the 'good' values are at each step.
