I want to download and unzip many files from the FTP and create variables for
year, month, and day for each file based on the naming mechanism. I am stack
with the following lines and any help will be highly appreciated. I want to
create a spreadsheet file with lat lon and estimate as headers.
library(RCurl)
# Download the files for 1985.
url = "ftp://ftp.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/fews/AFR_CLIM/ARC2/DATA/1985/";
filenames = getURL(url, ftp://ftp.use.epsv/ = FALSE, dirlistonly = TRUE)
crlf = TRUE
