Please reply to my post #2.
You cannot do the entire process with only FTP.
This is going to end up as a multi-stage process:
1) FTP: Get a directory listing from the remote directory
2) Shell: Process the directory listing to find today's files
3) FTP: Get only the file(s) identified above
Btw. The conventional design of this sort of process is to rename the files after successful transfer so it is easy to identify new files.

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.
