Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Using Rename to move files Post 302183584 by jgt on Wednesday 9th of April 2008 12:57:30 PM

As an alternative, I solved a similar problem by creating a file on the Windows side that looked like:
rename a.asc backup/a.asc
rename b.asc backup/b.asc
mget *
quit

for each file that was received and processed successfully.
Then this file was used as input to ftp in the next download and moves the processed files ahead of the mget.

This allowed for re-running of the download if any of the files were corrupted.

There is another advantage to this procedure in that if a file is added to the unix directory while a download is taking place, it may not be transferred, and if you move all the files, that new file may be moved without ever being processed, whereas by only moving the files that have been processed, you preclude that possibility.
