Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi Have a Nice Day
i m stuck with this quite easy task
assume that i m in certain directory and i open a ftp connection from there to some other directory and in second directory there are like so many files from july 02 till today
what would be the simple unix command to ftp all files from this directory of specific date ( like which were created on that specific date )


Regards

Create an ftp script that logs on to the remote system and runs 'ls -l'
save the output into a file, edit the file and create a new script to retrieve the files that you need
ftp remote.host <<EOF >file.list
userid
password
ls -l
quit
EOF
then either modify file.list manually, or write a script to extract what you need from it.

This can help only if your files have a date stamp in their name

#!/bin/bash -vx
now_date=`date +%d%m20%y` --for date in for ddmmyyyy
ftp -in 192.168.77.7<<END_SCRIPT
quote USER abc
quote PASS XXXX
bin
prompt off
cd /folder_1_on_ftp
lcd /folder_2_on_local --folder on local drive
mget *${now_date}*
bye
END_SCRIPT
