SOLVED FTP script to login and list files to log file
Hi Guys
I did a forum search for "ftp scripts" Looked at 8 pages and didnt see anything that would help. Most seem to be logging into a ftp server and transfering files.
What I need to do is login to a FTP server. Goto a folder and list it so it showes newest files first. It would be nice to set it to show only the last 10 newest but it doesnt matter if it's all. The said FTP server is an Amiga server for abandonware games so sometimes there can be alot.
But as soon as anyone see's this they will know it won't work
What happens is is it logs into the server fine it goes to the amiga folder then just sits there.
It doesnt even matter if it doesnt log to a file as the script runs this in a terminal so I can actually see the output anyway. I would prefer it to log the txt for the last 10 newest entries then open the log file afterwards.
Any help would be great. Thanks for reading.

FTPUSERS(5) Linux Programmer's Manual FTPUSERS(5)NAME
ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon
DESCRIPTION
The text file ftpusers contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon. This file is
used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked environment. It will typically
contain a list of the users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
server daemon. Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news. If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers then it is
suggested that you read its documentation to find out how to block access for certain users. Washington University FTP server Daemon
(wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.
Format
The format of ftpusers is very simple. There is one account name (or username) per line. Lines starting with a # are ignored.
FILES
/etc/ftpusers
