Ask the submitter of the files (server owner) to store only those that should be picked up in the "pickup" directory. Then do an ftp and get *.* I'll check over here if you can do a get *.* with ftp.

If I specify the full filename, then I receive it ok. But the problem is that the third component is a datetime value, and I have no way of knowing this unless they tell me in advance, which they don't. If anyone has any ideas how to handle this situation, I would certainly appreciate it?
