i was thinking it would be a great idea
for ftp to have some kind of toggle to
make ftp abort a macro if a command
fails, instead of merely proceeding
to the next line in the macro.

i find many times i am using ftp
seriously, i need a macro to abort
if a command fails, other times not.
eg - if i want to test for a lock,
or some other failure before
proceeding with the macro ...

i'd be interested in any other
ideas or anything i don't know about
which would allow me to test files
remotely before transferring.

thank you.
