Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I'm having problems downloading files from ftp server. I have to download only those files that name starts with YYYYMMDD.But file comes like the format "20080624221035.TXT".Also how i can get list of all file names with in specified folder.

Here i paste my code

ftp -vn servername<<SCRIPT

user username password

binary

get $source $target

bye

SCRIPT

Do you have some source code sample or any idea ?

I am using simple shell script.

Thanks!

#!/bin/sh

echo "Enter date:"
read date_now

ftp -idn << !
open <IP Address of the target server>
user (username password)
cd (directory where the desired files exist)
mget ${date_now}*
close
bye
