I'm dealing with the same issue save for the fact that I only have access to FTP on the remote machine. I'm running a script on a local Unix system and connecting to a FTP server on a windows box. What I need to do is move files from \today\*.PDF to \yesterday\*.PDF. All the files I'm moving are PDF's and there are other files in today's folder that I will not be moving. I tried using the "rename *.pdf \yesterday\*" gives the error:

Quote:
550 *.txt: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
I'm not sure what I can do as I am rather limited. I am currently using mget and mput but that takes a ton of bandwidth with these reports. I don't have access to the windows box nor can I install any scripts/programs on it.

I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance!
