Did the ftp command ls -l really just give you a list of files (without, type, mode, owner, group, size, and date information)?
Did you really get test.zip in response to the ftp command cd 20150707061229?
What difference does the order of the list produced by the ftp command ls make to the way your script functions? The ftp command doesn't include any conditionals such that you could extract the first (or last) file produced by ls within ftp and do anything in ftp with those results.
If you are using ftp to get a list of files (in increasing alphanumeric order) and processing the list in the script that called ftp and you want to get the last item in the list instead of the first; can't you just use tail instead of head.

That's what I have so far... it finds the appropriate directories and then sorts them. But, when it comes to nested subdirectories, it only sorts relative to the first subdirectory. I want it to sort based on the directory at the end of the path. Does anyone know... (3 Replies)
