I need to connect to a remote FTP server and then in one of their sub directory look for files. I need to extract files depending on date comparison. if the dates are similar I get the files based on run_date or else if they are different I compare them and get all the files from load day onwards. The if then else statement is not working as an invalid command . Can somebody pls help. Its very urgent.
Is there any other way out.
