Hi!!

I have to download one file from FTP on a daily basis but the file name not constant.

Filename “BRAA.DAILY1.20120326.3456”

BRAA.DAILY1. - constant

20120326 - system date

3456 - random number which will get change every day.

Few sample file names -

BRAA.DAILY1.20120326.3456
BRAA.DAILY1.20120327.2216
BRAA.DAILY1.20120328.4556

I have written shell program but I am getting the error, refer below details -
Code:
#!/bin/csh -e
source /users/bahulra/.cshrc
source /users/bahulra/.login

setenv USER user1
setenv PASSWD password
setenv DATADIR /data17/cocht


ftp -in ftp1.ftp123.com  << EndHere
user $USER $PASSWD
binary
get BRAA.DAILY1.`date +"%Y%m%d"`* $DATADIR/BRAA.DAILY1.`date +"%Y%m%d"`*

quit
EndHere

Error is -

Try mget rather than get.

mget
Take a look at

mget -- to get multiple files with wildcards
prompt -- to use/skip prompting

I'm not sure you can specify local filenames like that with mget (haven't used ftp in a while).

Try just changing local directory first using lcd (and not specifying the local names).
