Do a FTP to your vendor and do a DIR.
exit out of FTP
write a program to read the FTP log file and re-write the FTP script
file with the new name.
FTP to your vendor a second time.

I'm trying to automate a process that retrieves a file via FTP from a
vendor
that is named using a date/time stamp. In other words, the file name will
dynamically change each time it is created. Can I rename this file on
either end somehow? If I use GET I must know the file name to begin with.
If I use MGET with a wild card, I can get the file, but I can't specify the
destination name, so now I have a file in my IFS but I don't know the name.
It appears RENAME does not support wildcards, etc. Is anyone doing
something similar? Thanks, Tim
