Hi there Everyone,

I need some help/information/advise for the following questions:

I'm writing the following script:

#Beginning of the script

ftp -n <source server> > ${log_dir}/test_get.log << END
user <user_name>@<IP Address> <passwd>
verbose
bin
!echo "'List Files Before Getting A0 Data'"
ls
!echo "'Getting A0 Data'"
lcd /usr/mir7/dmail/data # Destination
mget A0*
bye
END

ftp -n <source server> > ${log_dir}/test_get.log << END
user <user_name>@<IP Address> <passwd>
!echo "'List All A0 Data"
dir A0*
bye
END

echo "List A0 Files in Destination" >> ${log_dir}/test_get.log
ls ltr A0* | grep "A0*" >> ${log_dir}/test_get.log

#The End

After getting the file from the source server I would like to delete the file from the source server but only the files which I have ftp to my server. Is there anyway to do it? I understand ftp do not understand "if...then...else" or "while" statements. How can I go about doing it? Any ideas/ advise/ help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.
