I'm willing to *help* you write it. but it's in the wrong section. I believe we have a section for shell scripting.

Hints:
You'll have to use an expect statement or a passwordless login (danger)
You'll have to play with commands in psftp to see what sort of things are possible with it to grab the newest files
You'll have to be willing to learn if you don't already know how to do something.

Could you post the script? Could be a simple typo or not fully file path.
