I see what you're saying...
Here's the thing - I need to connect from Unix box to windows box and get latest *.txt file from some remote directory (there might be multiple *.txt files in this directory). I have no way of knowing what the latest file is since ftp does not support any of the dir or ls options such as dir /O-d or ls -lt. If i get all *.txt files form remote windows box they loose their time stamps during the transfer and I still can't find out which latest file.
If you can advise anything I'd appreciate it.
-thanks

httpindex
httpindex(1) General Commands Manual httpindex(1)
NAME
httpindex - HTTP front-end for SWISH++ indexer
SYNOPSIS
wget [ options ] URL... 2>&1 | httpindex [ options ]
DESCRIPTION
httpindex is a front-end for index++(1) to index files copied from remote servers using wget(1). The files (in a copy of the remote direc-
tory structure) can be kept, deleted, or replaced with their descriptions after indexing.
OPTIONS
wget Options
The wget(1) options that are required are: -A, -nv, -r, and -x; the ones that are highly recommended are: -l, -nh, -t, and -w. (See the
EXAMPLE.)
httpindex Options
httpindex accepts the same short options as index++(1) except for -H, -I, -l, -r, -S, and -V.
The following options are unique to httpindex:
-d Replace the text of local copies of retrieved files with their descriptions after they have been indexed. This is useful to display
file descriptions in search results without having to have complete copies of the remote files thus saving filesystem space. (See
the extract_description() function in WWW(3) for details about how descriptions are extracted.)
-D Delete the local copies of retrieved files after they have been indexed. This prevents your local filesystem from filling up with
copies of remote files.
EXAMPLE
To index all HTML and text files on a remote web server keeping descriptions locally:
wget -A html,txt -linf -t2 -rxnv -nh -w2 http://www.foo.com 2>&1 |
httpindex -d -e'html:*.html,text:*.txt'
Note that you need to redirect wget(1)'s output from standard error to standard output in order to pipe it to httpindex.
EXIT STATUS
Exits with a value of zero only if indexing completed sucessfully; non-zero otherwise.
CAVEATS
In addition to those for index++(1), httpindex does not correctly handle the use of multiple -e, -E, -m, or -M options (because the Perl
script uses the standard GetOpt::Std package for processing command-line options that doesn't). The last of any of those options ``wins.''
The work-around is to use multiple values for those options seperated by commas to a single one of those options. For example, if you want
to do:
httpindex -e'html:*.html' -e'text:*.txt'
do this instead:
httpindex -e'html:*.html,text:*.txt'
