"Returns most significant digit of the response code."
The response code is part of the FTP specification, response codes in
the 200's are successes and responses in the 500's are failures, so it
should be sufficient to check for a 2 and have that be success, a 5
makes failure and anything else is undefined. By looking at the 2
lesser significant digits normally a failure cause can be determined,
but with 'site' that is system dependent (at least I think).
