Yes, it's perfectly possible.
Just a question based on a previous experience with ftp. Are you sure you want to do this using ftp? No chance of using sftp instead?
What OS are you on?
I'll be more than glad to help you.
You may have to tweak this a little bit as I am on a Linux box and don't have an AIX one to test. But at least I believe this should get you going. Also, I'm no Perl expert but hopefully you will get the point . The process is performed in 2 steps:
1) Connect to the remote host using ftp and download a listing of the remote directory. Save each file's last modification time and file name to files Dates.txt and Files.txt, respectively.
2) Compare the modification time of each file against the current time minus 30 minutes and if the condition is satisfied, connect again and download the file.
If someone else in these forums can come with a better way to do this, we'd all be thankful to see it .
Thanks gacanepa, this is ideal. for some reason it didn't like the print stat ('$list') so I I copied $list into a file and referenced the file instead of variable and it worked strangely
