Shell script for FTP folder pattern

Hello,

I have 3 folders on FTP server in the format yyyymmddhhmiss as below,
Code:
ftp> cd /home/walgreens
250 CWD command successful

ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
20150708072901
20150708092901
20150708102901

The above folders are in the format on FTP is YYYYMMDDHHMiSS.
Code:
ftp> dir
200 PORT command successful
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     root         4096 Jul  8 07:53 20150708072901
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     root         4096 Jul  8 09:53 20150708092901
drwxrwxr-x   2 root     root         4096 Jul  8 10:53 20150708102901
226 Transfer complete

The script needs to select the FTP folder 20150708102901, since this is the latest one (arrived at 10am).

The script has to select the folder 20150708102901 and fetch the gz file inside it.
Code:
ftp> cd 20150708102901
250 CWD command successful

ftp> get CA.gz


Thanks
pavan

Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it far easier to read and preserves multiple spaces for indenting of fixed width data.

ftpconfig(1M)						  System Administration Commands					     ftpconfig(1M)

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
