How to redirect the output of a command inside ftp block?
hi,

i am using ftp to get files from remote server. inside the ftp i want to us ls -ltr command and send the output of it to a file.

Code:
ftp -n remote_server <<_FTP
    quote USER username
    quote PASS password
    prompt noprompt
    pwd
    ls -ltr
    get s1.txt
    bye
_FTP

i want to get the output of only ls -ltr command to be stored in a file and not the other commands like pwd and get.

is it possible to redirect the output of only ls -ltr command into a file.

SIMPLEFTP(1)						      General Commands Manual						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

NAME

       simpleftp - rudimentary ftp client

SYNOPSIS

       simpleftp ftp://...  [ ... ]

DESCRIPTION

       simpleftp  is  a perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion.  It takes one or more ftp
       URLS on the command line.  The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same  basename
       as on the remote; i.e., ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz is stored as active.gz in the current directory.

BUGS

       simpleftp  is  an  extremely  poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities.  It was written
       only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/ without requir-
       ing administrators to install yet another package.  Its shortcomings as a general purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that
       stands out is that simpleftp does not understand the complete syntax of URLs, only the hostname and pathname parts -- it  will  not  under-
       stand username, password, port or parameter strings.
