ftp: get list of file to get. Retrieve and move them
Hi,
I need to get multiple files from an ftp server. Once the files have been downloaded, I need to move them to a different directory on the ftp server. I don't know of a command that would enable me to get a file and then move it (assuming I don't know the exact file name) within ftp. I think the best way would be to connect to the FTP server and write the list of files waiting to be downloaded to a text file, then connect again and download one file at a time, but I don't know how to do it.
If anyone has some suggestions to get me started it would be grately appreciated.
Thanks.

NAME
ftp - FTP client configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/default/ftp
DESCRIPTION
Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and
are ignored.
Behavior Directives
The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no
The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
by default.
If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is
specified in /etc/default/ftp.
