I am trying to get (ftp) file from one of the web site. I want to delete the file after the file is transferred completely.

I want to make sure that I get only current date ( MMDDYYYY) file appended at the end of the file name.

File Name : XXXXX_MMDDYYYY SIZE: 12457878 bytes


I am using "curl" command. Also, I would need the file size so that I can compare file downloaded file size.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to perform some effort on your own if you want to receive assistance.

I am not asking you to write the code for me. I think you are trying to use this forum to make money...

Show us what you have coded and what portion is not working.
FYI: some ftp servers will allow ls "-lrt"
try it in place of sorting dir output

getfile () {
set -- `ftp localhost <<ftp-end | tail -1 | tr -s " "
ls "-lrt /mydir"
ftp-end
`
