ftp - write ls or dir to file while ftp'ing

[a2love]

Executing a batch job through execute command. Was having an issue with the batch where I need to check if FTP was successful by reading the ls or dir, and send that list to a file, then use grep on that file to find my required file name. Any suggestions? slightly out of the DS realm but any help is appreciated.

When you invoke your ftp script, redirect its output or pipe its output through the tee -acommand.
