What Operating System and version are you running on the local server?
What Shell do you use on the local server?

The usual solution is to do this in three stages.
1) Use ftp to get the files list to a file on the local server
2) Process the files list to produce a selected list. Is is trivial to find the latest file with these filenames.
3) Run ftp to copy files listed in the selected list

       --passwordfile	       file containing passwords appropriate for the command (e.g., administrative instance).

       --secure 	       if true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the administrative instance.
