Operating Systems Linux Get all the files from a FTP location with previous week's dates in the file names using Linux Post 302852361 by dhruuv369 on Wednesday 11th of September 2013 02:04:47 PM

Hi Spacebar,

Your code is very helpful. However, I see in your code that, you are subtracting the dates as if running the process on Mondays only, but there are few scenarios where I run the job on Tuesdays or any day of the week too (eg. due to long weekends or holidays or sometimes the files are not ready on the FTP1). Can you please suggest a different code(or modification to the current one) to get the files for the previous week no matter which day or when I run the job in the current week.

Thanks

Hi Spacebar,

I got the answer to my question Smilie. I used the following:

Code:
date -d "last saturday -1day"  +%Y%m%d

Thanks
Dhruuv.

NAME
ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP SYNOPSIS
ftpconfig [ftpdir] ftpconfig -d ftpdir DESCRIPTION
The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server by specifying the user name ftp or anonymous and the user's email address as password. The anonymous users are logged on to the FTP Server and given access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has its own minimal system files. This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the ftp user account, creating device nodes, copying /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data. The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server. The anonymous file area will be placed under ftpdir. If the ftp user account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded. OPTIONS
-d Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when creating guest FTP user accounts. OPERANDS
The following operands are supported: ftpdir The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion 1 Improper usage of the command 2 Command failed ATTRIBUTES
