If I understand you correctly you have a Unix box to which another node is ftp'ing files regularly. You have a process on this Unix box which needs to read these files but not the one's already processed. I assume that you can process these files in the chronological order that they are received in????? If so, here's another option......
At the end of your processing job you put the command:
to create a file at the time of the process run called "timestamp".
At the start of the job you put:
to only select files created (ftp'd onto the box) since the last run finished.
That way, all the historical files can be left in the directory and not be selected for processing.
The above assumes that I have completely understood you but, if not, do post back the issues.
I need to find files that have the ending of .out and that are older than 20 days. However, I cannot use find as I do not want to search in the directories that are underneath the directory that I am searching in.
How can this be done?? Find returns files that I do not want. (2 Replies)

ncftpbatch
ncftpbatch(1) General Commands Manual ncftpbatch(1)NAME
ncftpbatch - Individual batch FTP job processor
SYNOPSIS
ncftpbatch -d
ncftpbatch -l
ncftpbatch -D
OPTIONS
Command line flags:
-d Begin background processing of FTP jobs in the current user's $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory. This returns immediately, because a
daemon process is spawned and ran in the background.
-l Lists the contents of the user's job queue.
-D This is like -d, except that the process does not become a daemon.
DESCRIPTION
This program is responsible for processing background FTP requests. It is normally only run by ncftp and not manually by a human being,
however you can run it to manually process the FTP job queue.
The jobs are spool files written to a user's $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory and have a special format and file-naming convention (which con-
tains when the job is to be run). ncftp runs this program when it needs to, but if the ncftpbatch daemon dies unexpectedly the jobs that
are left in the queue will not be processed until another instance of ncftpbatch is run.
ncftpget and ncftpput can also be used to submit jobs for batch processing, using those utilities' -b command-line flag. If desired, you
can also manually create the spool files although this procedure is not documented here (see the manual page for ncftpspooler for more
information on how to do that).
DIAGNOSTICS
ncftpbatch writes to its own log file, the $HOME/.ncftp/spool/log file. This file should be examined to determine if any ncftpbatch pro-
cesses are actively working on jobs.
