Capture the output from ftp and grep for success...

ftp -inv 192.168.xx.xx <<END >ftplog 2>errorlog
user $userString $pswdString
binary
send $1
bye
END

if grep -q ^226 ftplog
then
echo Info: file $1 sent okay
else
echo Error: file $1 not sent
echo Reason: `cat errorlog`
fi

ftp -inv 192.168.xx.xx <<END >ftplog 2>errorlog
user $userString $pswdString
binary
get $1
del $1
bye
END


I want to delete $1 if the "get" is OK. I have to do 2 scripts:
one for the get then i'm testing if $1 is on my computer
an other script for delete $1 ???????????????????
