Author Script to upload a file to a FTP server and delete the file -only if sucessful

I setup a scripts to download and upload some files with our EDI
providor. I am having a problem when their system goes down, my upload
script runs, the FTP connection fails, and the next line of my script
is a del *.edi which deletes my file, but the data was not sent. I
would love to move the file -vs- copy the file then I would not have to
delete it.

Any help would be loved!!

It depends on what script language you are using but there should be a way
to test if your FTP command failed.

Even something like this in vbscript for Window Scripting Host may work

FTPCommand
if (err <> 0) then
WScript.Echo "Sorry FTP failed for some reason! " & err.Description
end if

Cheers
