I used Scott Klement's FTPAPI to do pretty much what you are doing. There is
an example program for what you are trying to do that's included in his
package.

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
