The OP's input to sftp has "lcd /u/op117/" and later "get EBC-GOV-yyyymmdd.txt". If the "get" command had slashes inside yyyymmdd then it would look like this: "get EBC-GOV-yyyy/mm/dd.txt" and sftp would write a file named "/u/op117/dd.txt" if it found the file, and the OGET '/u/op117/EBC-GOV-yyyymmdd.txt' command would not find the file that sftp wrote.
I cannot read his mind, but I think the OP did not mean the slashes literally when he said "in this yyyymmdd should be replace with year/month/date". The logic makes more sense if slashes are left out when the date is substituted. On Fri, 17 Jun 2022 07:14:16 -0500, John S.
