Shell help ftp retry

Hi Experts,

I am getting file values as argument in the format 1.txt,2.txt,3.txt
Loop for all txt_files
 exec procedure sp_book_cnt
If returnStatus=Y
   ftp txtfile
echo "FTP Success"
Else
sleep 60
goto procedure sp_book_cnt until File ftp success or until returnsflag=N            

sp_book_cnt will check for retry cnt, if its >10 it should send status (returnFlag) as N.      

How can i achieve this?

Thanks,
Magento

Sorry for late response ..
How can wget solve my issue , also please be advice i was supposed to use FTP in my project.
Check -c option for wget
You can have many different shining FTP downloaders, like curl, ncftp or aria2, or replacements like rcp, or secure replacements like scp or rsync.

Hi Gheist,

Sorry i dont understand ur points on different FTP downloaders. My question is how to handle the ftp count.

Say i send a first book 1.txt to another server via ftp command . If its success i will process next book 2.txt.
If 1.txt fails, i will try reftp the file until its success but only reftp 10 times . If still 10 times fails, it should throw error.

How can i do this in shell scripting.?

Thanks
