Regarding moving files from FTP site to some other folder

Hi,
I am new into Unix and I have 2 files A & B coming into my FTP site on 2nd day of all months.
The files are in the format
A_YYMMDD_HHMISS Ex: A_081102_180708

I need to rename the filenames to Product & Person and push to some other machine.Also the files won't be deleted after moving from FTP site.So all files will be accumulated in the same folder of FTP site.Can anyone help me in doing the Korn shell script for the same?

Thanks a lot,
Poornima

Sir Meowmix III	Re: Regarding moving files from FTP site to some other folder Look at using ncftpget and ncftpput ncftpget ftp.mysite2.com /tmp `date +A_%y%m%d_%H%M%S` mv -f /tmp/`date +A_%y%m%d_%H%M%S` 'Product & Person' ncftpput ftp.mysite2.com /path/to/upload '/tmp/Product & Person'

Sir Meowmix III	mv -f /tmp/`date +A_%y%m%d_%H%M%S` 'Product & Person' Should read as: mv -f /tmp/`date +A_%y%m%d_%H%M%S` '/tmp/Product & Person'

Another tool that may be useful if these file come in at somewhat predictable intervals is cron. You can take the Sir Meowmix III's script and save it as a simple text file with a .sh extension and then have cron run this at the intervals.
cron is a scheduler that runs a certain command at a given interval. Type the following in a command line to learn more:
man cron
man crontab
Or read those files at »manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/int···ron.html and »manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/int···tab.html These are Ubuntu's man pages, your version of Unix may have different info, but the overall usage should be similar or identical so Ubuntu's man pages are probably valid for your distro to.

Sir Meowmix III @windstream.net	You must install ncftp. I have no idea what variant of UNIX you are using so I cannot comment with any specific instructions.
