http2ftp was one of about 10 clients I have mulled through over the past week.  
If I recall correctly, this script merely echos a canned response upon the 
completion of a file transfer and not the actual response of the FTP server.  
I may have to find another solution, as there it appears there is no simple 
way to do this.  pfsockopen() looked promising and I am working on a test 
script right now, but I am sceptical as this function involves actual files 
being read.

I will be looking at the source of some C FTP clients to get an idea of how to 
receive the requisite data and how those programs handle output.  We'll see.  
The command line may be the only option since the product vendor has never 
even bothered to produce an alternative means of firmware upgrade.
