I call this GetFILE.ini file from an sftp program to fetch a file from /usr/home/ as location. The file is in this format data-20071115.xml
I have been succesfull in doing this.

This runs froms tuesday to friday. But on Monday i need to fetch Saturday and Sunday file and i don't know how it can be accomplished in this.

Can anyone help

Thanks,
Sandeep
This relies on GNU date.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ $(date +%u) = 1 ]]
then
  echo get /usr/home/data-$(date --date="-2 days" '+%Y%m%d').xml > /usr/local/sandeep/GetFILE.ini
  # some command that calls GetFILE.ini, before it is overwritten.
  echo get /usr/home/data-$(date --date="-1 days" '+%Y%m%d').xml > /usr/local/sandeep/GetFILE.ini
else
  echo get /usr/home/data-$(date '+%Y%m%d').xml > /usr/local/sandeep/GetFILE.ini
fi
