Or, are you simply looking for a unix script to handle the rename of a file? For instance, ftp receive a file called my_new.dat that you want to rename to the next available sequential file number in pattern EFT###.dat

I've made two scripts.

First script is for ftp command in msdos, it's for get a filelist from the unix ftp server

---------- Post updated at 10:51 AM ---------- Previous update was at 10:50 AM ----------

comandos.ftp

Code:

open 192.168.253.7
user cnavarro |nC*d3W3
ls
bye

you muste execute with
C:\ftp -n -s:comandos.ftp > ftp.out

This generates ftp.out file, and must be "analyzed" for getting max id of files. For this I've created second file script

script.awk

Code:

/eft[0-9]*\.dat/{
    match($0,/[0-9]+/)
    n=0+substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)
    if (n>max){
        print n&quot; es mayor que &quot;max
        max=n
    }
}
END{
    print &quot;open 192.168.253.7&quot; > &quot;upFile.ftp&quot;
    print &quot;user usuario password&quot; > &quot;upFile.ftp&quot;
    print &quot;put arch1 eft&quot;(max+1)&quot;.dat&quot; > &quot;upFile.ftp&quot;
    print &quot;bye&quot; > &quot;upFile.ftp&quot;
}

you must execute with:
c:\gawk --posix -f script.awk ftp.out

This generates a second ftp file you must run with:
C:\ftp -n -s:upFile.ftp > ftp.out

Sorry for multiedit but I can't post a reply, can anybody help me?

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

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.
