Ok. Actually it just requires a small modification:
<target name="checkFTPfailure">
<!-- Do whatever to determine FTP failure.
(Using 'uptodate' task?)
If FTP has succeeded, set a property.
-->
<property name="ftp.ok" value="true"/>
</target>
<target name="ftpLoop" depends="checkFTPfailure" unless="ftp.ok">
<FTP .../>
<antcall target="ftpLoop2"/>
</target>
<target name="ftpLoop2" depends="checkFTPfailure" unless="ftp.ok">
<FTP .../>
<antcall target="ftpLoop"/>
</target>
<target name="ftp" depends="ftpLoop"/>
Note that 'checkFTPfailure' will be called *before* you attempt your
first FTP. This should be fine, since you haven't even attempted an FTP
yet that *certainly* should be a failure! :)
