How to FTP fiels according to generated date
Hi,

I need to get some files from a server via ftp. normaly I use following scrip, it is worrking fine.

cd dir_name
ftp -v -n "10.76.170.17" << cmd
user "rbi" "rbi"
cd recordreceive
prompt
mget b*.dat
bye

Now I need to modify it to get files accodding to the generated date. Can some body give me an idea how should modify my script to do this.

Example:

I have files like this in my server(Windows) as follows,

-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 348734 Oct 09 2005 b00000505.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 348419 Oct 10 2005 b00000506.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 348765 Oct 11 2005 b00000507.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 350113 Oct 12 2005 b00000508.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 349624 Oct 12 2005 b00000509.dat
-rwxrwxrwx 1 owner group 349359 Oct 18 2005 b00000510.dat

How can I ftp(mget) files only generated on Oct 18 2005 ?

Waiting for answer soon

Thanks
Mahesh

SIMPLEFTP(1)						    InterNetNews Documentation						      SIMPLEFTP(1)

NAME

       simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client

SYNOPSIS

       simpleftp url [...]

DESCRIPTION

       simpleftp is a Perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion.	It takes one or more FTP
       URLs on the command line.  The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
       as on the remote; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.

       The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:

	   ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file

BUGS

       simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities.	It was written
       only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/> or
       <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring administrators to install yet another package.	Its shortcomings as a general
       purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
       same name in the local directory.

HISTORY

       Tossed off by David C Lawrence <tale@isc.org> for InterNetNews.	Rewritten to use "Net::FTP" by Julien Elie.
