Is there a way to detect when i copy a file from client to server. Here's the sample.
# NO NEED TO INPUT SERVER PASSWORD
#!/bin/sh
if [ scp <myfilename> user@xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/ ]
echo "Failed";
else
echo "Success";
fi

There's a way to check the return code of the program you ran, I think it's something like '$?' So if scp returns an error when it can't copy, you should be able to check it that way.
Yeah, if I run:
#!/bin/bash
scp foo someone@somewhere:
echo $?
Then it prints out an error because it can't connect, followed by a 1 for the $? variable.

Just FYI...May be some others in need of..
Code:
#!/bin/bash
ftp_site=ftp://yoursite.com
username=roger
passwd=abc123
backupdir=$HOME
filename="backup-$(date '+%F-%H%M').tar.gz"
echo "Creating a backup file $filename of $backupdir."
# Make a tar gzipped backup file
tar -cvzf "$filename" "$backupdir"
ftp -in <<EOF
open $ftp_site
user $username $passwd
bin
put $filename
close
bye
EOF
Thanks moma

Your first attempt was very close. Just remove those []'s, add a then, and switch the messages.
if scp <myfilename> user@xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/
then
echo "Success";
else
echo "Failed";
fi
