Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to FTP the latest file, based on date, from a remote server through a shell script? Post 302502265 by kamalkishore on Monday 7th of March 2011 12:08:11 PM

When a ftp is done, it may not be possible to list the files based on time (creation).

In my opinion best bet is if you can create the file name by appending the date and then ftp(pull) the file(as you say the files come each day).

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. ATTRIBUTES
