Command Line Downloading

Here is my process Now currently in a batch file:

1. Get yesterday's date

2. ftp to server

3. mget *%yesterdaysdate%.*

4. Continue Processing Batch File

I want to use core ftp because it has the resume capabilities via the command line

My Questions are:

1. Does it have a queue feature via the command line to ensure that I get all the files? There would be all the ones from above with yesterday's date plus a few others ones I need to get

2. Will it sit there and retry a bunch of times, resuming until it gets the files?

Thanks!

Randy

I opened up the gui and It looks like I can setup a schedule to do all of that, running before and after bat files. That is pretty neat. I am gonna start testing it out.

I am reviewed the graphical client, it appears to do everything I want accept for 1 thing:

1. I want to run a script before the download to get yesterday's date. I then want to use that date to download the files with that date in the name. Am I going to be able to do this using the gui or do I need to go to command line?

Thanks!
