Hello,
I'm hoping someone here can help me out. I'm trying to sync up a local directory with a remote FTP directory. But there's a catch. The remote directory has It's data re-uploaded every morning (whether it's new or not), and hence the timestamp is reset to the time that it was re-uploaded. There is a naming convention that is used. Filename-20070529.tar, where 2007=year, 05=month, and 29=day So what I'm needing to do is to take a look at local filenames and determine if the file on the remote end is the same, if it is, don't download/sync., otherwise download. These are hefty filesizes, and a re-download isn't an option on a daily basis. What I don't know how to do is to use a regular expression within lftp to identify if the remote file has a date in the filename, and how to compare that to the local filenames. Thanks so much for any assistance. -- Matthew Kettlewell President TazaTek 970-985-4192
