RE: FTP.. Need Help

We purchased Alliance FTP Manager from Patrick Townsend & Associates.  It
will do want you want and more.  It can notify you if the daily download
fails. 
http://www.patownsend.com or e-mail Patrick directly at
Mailto:townsend@patownsend.com

I love the product and it works great without a lot of overhead.

Subject: FTP.. Need Help




I want to download a file from a server daily in batch, the file on the
server
will have a different name each day. (Example file0907 file0908)

My question is how do you change the name of the file on the get command in
the
text member, so that it changes the last four positions of the filename.
(Example file0908 -> file0909)  I want the batch program to increment the
mmdd
so that the right file will be dowloaded daily without any user
intervention.

Thanks in advance.
