Hi, from a Linux SLES9X using "ftp client" and i.e. " mget *.txt " all files from remote site are downloaded and replaced (with today date) if already present too. My scope is to download only the newer or not present on local site ans skip when they already exist. I need to run ftp download manually and I cannot use rsync. An useful tool like FILEZILLA could be used using VNC session but I cannot find one for Linux SUSE SLES9X... Reading man ftp SLES9X we can find : preserve Toggle preservation of modification times on retrieved files runique Toggle storing of files on the local system with unique file names. If a file already exists with a name equal to the target local filename for a get or mget command, a ".1" is...... Than FTP setting "runique" it rename the file with a numeric extention and "preserve" do not work as described. The FTP server could be WIN o UNIX... Thanks in advance.
