+    The idea is to handle complicated code response (even multi lines).
+    We get the status code in two ways:
+    - extracting the code from the last valid line in the response
+    - getting it from the 3first digits in the code
+    After a comparaison between the two values,
+    we can safely set the code or raise a warning.

+        - multi_line_code = '226-File successfully transferred\n226 0.000 seconds'
