Help with renaming files in remote server
I have to write a script to get some files from remote server using FTP and rename it after the FTP. I use wildcard to get the file as i do not no the exact file name or the number of files in the remote server.

My script is similar to the following...
Code:
#!/bin/sh
LOG=/Log/ftp.log
ftp (FTP server) <<EOF
ls ABC*.dat list.txt >> $LOG
mget ABC*.dat >> $LOG
bye
EOF

I read from previous post that a rename is not possible with wildcard. And someone else suggested using a list to get the files in the remote server and try to rename it with that.

But i did not find how to do that. Could any of you help me in this?

Thank you.

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

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
