confirm package uploaded to cran

I used this code from the command prompt on a windows box (linux machine is at work):

ftp -u ftp://cran.R-project.org/incoming/ qdap_0.1.0.tar.gz

I used the info from:

https://github.com/hadley/devtools/wiki/Release
http://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/R-exts.html#Submitting-a-package-to-CRAN

I expected to see it show up here: ftp://cran.r-project.org/incoming/ but I do not see it.

Am I just being impatient or did my package not upload? Here is the command line output:

C:\Users\trinker\GitHub>ftp -u ftp://cran.R-project.org/incoming/ qdap_0.1.0.tar
.gz

Transfers files to and from a computer running an FTP server service
(sometimes called a daemon). Ftp can be used interactively.

FTP [-v] [-d] [-i] [-n] [-g] [-s:filename] [-a] [-A] [-x:sendbuffer] [-r:recvbuf
fer] [-b:asyncbuffers] [-w:windowsize] [host]

  -v              Suppresses display of remote server responses.
  -n              Suppresses auto-login upon initial connection.
  -i              Turns off interactive prompting during multiple file
                  transfers.
  -d              Enables debugging.
  -g              Disables filename globbing (see GLOB command).
  -s:filename     Specifies a text file containing FTP commands; the
                  commands will automatically run after FTP starts.
  -a              Use any local interface when binding data connection.
  -A              login as anonymous.
  -x:send sockbuf Overrides the default SO_SNDBUF size of 8192.
  -r:recv sockbuf Overrides the default SO_RCVBUF size of 8192.
  -b:async count  Overrides the default async count of 3
  -w:windowsize   Overrides the default transfer buffer size of 65535.
  host            Specifies the host name or IP address of the remote
                  host to connect to.

Notes:
  - mget and mput commands take y/n/q for yes/no/quit.
  - Use Control-C to abort commands.

  1. Make sure you are not looking at a page cached earlier by your browser.

  2. To perform the actual upload you might want to try the free cross platform FileZilla FTP software. You can upload and concurrently view the contents of the source directory on your machine (in the left pane) and the target directory on CRAN (in the right pane) and view a log of what is happening in the top pane and a progress indicator in the bottom pane. It also has a site manager to store the sites you upload to so you don't need to keep typing in their URL each time you do an upload.
