IMO not correct.... depends on OS's. 
226 - Transfer Completed Successfully
250 - Transfer Completed Successfully
I did always test for both 226 AND 250 in my "build on the fly" FTP programs.

Typing from a link at www.tug.on.ca/AS400FTP.htm (seems not to work anymore):
<snip>
The text in the 250 code and other FTP codes can vary depending on the system
you are communicating with. It may say "Transfer completed successfully" in the 
case of an AS/400 to MVS system  or  "File transfer completed successfully" in 
the case of a transfer from AS/400 to AS/400. Also, in the case of a loopback to 
AS/400, the 250 message may appear twice.

Oh well.... maybe a little off topic from the OP's question :-)
