A variation on the approach I use may meet your needs. The first call to FTP needs to do a DIR and save the result to the local disk. The script then parses that file to identifiy what files are new. The second call to FTP downloads specific files that were identified as new. I tend to do this sort of stuff with PERL instead of a batch file. Much better control that way.
