Question on FTP
Hi All,

I'm new to this group and this is my first post to this group.

I need to write a shell script for the requirement given below:

1. I need to connect to a ftp server with my username and password
2. I need to go to some(input) directory.
3. I will have files with same names and with different timestamps. I need to get the most recent file.
4. I need to decrypt the downloaded file with the key.
5. Make some modifications to the file.
6. Encrypt the file with the key
7. put it back to the server.

This is my requirement. It would be great, if someone helps me to complete this.

Thanks n Regards
Ranjith

SIMPLEFTP(1)						      General Commands Manual						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

NAME

       simpleftp - rudimentary ftp client

SYNOPSIS

       simpleftp ftp://...  [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       simpleftp  is  a perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion.  It takes one or more ftp
       URLS on the command line.  The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same  basename
       as on the remote; i.e., ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz is stored as active.gz in the current directory.

BUGS

       simpleftp  is  an  extremely  poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities.  It was written
       only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/ without requir-
       ing administrators to install yet another package.  Its shortcomings as a general purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that
       stands out is that simpleftp does not understand the complete syntax of URLs, only the hostname and pathname parts -- it  will  not  under-
       stand username, password, port or parameter strings.
