11:17 AM <wgrant> I'm not sure if it's possible to distinguish the types of errors locally, but you can do the local verification up-front as you say.
11:17 AM <wgrant> It may even be barely worth using dput...
11:54 AM <vila> wgrant: ... you mean, just doing the ftp upload "manually" and redoing the dput checks ?
11:54 AM <vila> s/and/after/
11:57 AM <wgrant> vila: If you're doing lots of local checks anyway, and you know the list of files that you're going to upload, dput doesn't provide a lot of value over a normal FTP client.
