Hi. Tracking the urlStatus isn't "officially" supported for ftp 
uploads at present. (But coming soon.)

However, you might try something this (no guarantees.).

local lcCanCheck

on mouseUp
#whatever
  put <whatever> unto tUrl
  put <whatever> into tUploadData
  put true into lcCanCheck
  send "ftpCheckStatus" && quote & tUrl & quote to me in 50 milliseconds
  put tUploaddata into url tUrl
  put false into lcCanCheck
#whatever"
end mouseUp

on ftpCheckStatus pUrl
  get urlStatus(pUrl)
  put it ##or whatever
  if lcCanCheck then
   send "ftpCheckStatus" && quote & pUrl & quote to me in 50 milliseconds
  end if
end ftpCheckStatus

It's important that the "send" command comes before the "put" 
command, as the put command will block until the upload completes.
