But the technique to solve your problem is exactly the same. You just want to chang source file timestamp not destination file timestamp.

If that does not help, come back.

What I mean is...What if the file you are DOWNLOADING is timestamped AND you can predict what the filename will be in future. NOT the other way around like you reply link suggests.

I need to automate downloading a file from an FTP server.

This is format of the file name includes the date and updates constantly

example: Filename_2013_03_14_1010.dat

the next day will be...

Filename_2013_03_15_1010.dat then
Filename_2013_03_16_1010.dat up to
Filename_2013_03_31_1010.dat then it will update to
Filename_2013_04_01_1010.dat and so on...


What is the command/syntax to handle this situation with a changing date?
