Pull only new files from Server A to Server B
Hi,
I am very new to shell scripting and need to create shel script for following :

Look continuously for new files in server A(/hosting/apps) and as they arrive pull it to server B (/hosting/landing).

Note - only new files that have arrived in server A should be pulled into Server B. Script resides on Server B.
Also Server A is FTP only and RSYNC wont work.
Expecting to have 70 files dropped in a day on server A all starting with TTY_*

Thanks,
Adi

FTP can't effectively tell you when files are newer or not. It's very simple and stupid. It's possible but would be ugly, and we'd need to see what your ftp's ls output looks like.

Do you have ssh access?

Yes I do have SSH on Server B. But server A is FTP only.

Do you have the ability to compile programs on Server B?

If so, you could compile the NcFTP Client on Server B and then use NcFTPLs and NcFTPGet in your scripts to do most of the difficult FTP transfer stuff.
