PHV QUOTE "while [[ $i < $NUM_MAX ]]" should it be not ? while (( $i < $NUM_MAX )) can be tricky sometimes.. :-)

Guys, I am writing a ftp script. Sometimes it happens that my ftp session times out showing error on the terminal. &quot;Connection timed out&quot;. My problem is that I am not able to capture this error message in the log file. Even though I use following construct, the (error) message is...

Thanks SamBones - you are correct about ${FLIST} being created before the ftp call. So I will have to use two ftp sessions in this case. One to read the filenames, second to fetch the files that I am interested in. NFS option is not viable in my situation since the server where the files are...
