KSH n FTP query

Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I have this slightly modified FTP code (thanks to this forum)

function gather_FTPDate {
	HOST=
	USER=
	PASSWD=

	exec 4>${TEMP_LOG_FILE}
	ftp -nv >&4 2>&4 |&

	echo $?

	if [[ $? -ne 0 ]] then
		echo "Unable to connect to FTP server!!!" >> ${LOG_FILE}	
		return 0
	fi

	print -p open $HOST
	print -p user $USER $PASSWD
        ...
	print -p bye

	wait
}

The problem is with the if loop. How do i check if the connection to the FTP server is a success or failure? Even when the connection times out, i get a return code of 0.

Thanks.
