Hi,
from a Linux SLES9X  using  "ftp client" and   i.e.   " mget  *.txt "
all  files  from remote site are downloaded and replaced (with today date)
if already present  too.

My scope is to download  only  the newer  or  not  present  on local site
ans  skip  when  they  already exist.

I need to run ftp download manually and  I cannot use  rsync.

An  useful  tool like FILEZILLA  could be used using VNC session but  I
cannot find one for Linux SUSE SLES9X...

Reading  man ftp   SLES9X  we can find :

preserve    Toggle preservation of modification times on retrieved files

runique     Toggle storing of files on the local system with unique fileĀ­
                    names.  If a file already exists with a name equal to
the
                    target local filename for a get or mget command, a ".1"
is......



Than FTP setting   "runique"   it rename  the file with a numeric extention
and  "preserve"  do not work as described.

The  FTP server could be WIN o UNIX...


Thanks in advance.

Cordiali saluti  / Best regards
