FTP script for Windows [yeah, i know this is a UNIX forum :) ]

[mustaine737]

Hi,

I need to connect to a ftp server everyday, and get files that have the day's date in their filename:

for eg. xyz-20070716.xml

I have a UNIX script that does it easily as:

date=`date +%m-%d-%Y`
/usr/bin/ncftpget ftp://${user[$i]}:${pass[$i]}@${ftpserver}/*.${date}*

Does anyone know how to translate this into a Windows batch script? I know how to build the basic windows script for this, mget etc. but how do I fit the 'date' bit in?

I can't use Perl or Cygwin, etc.

Any pointers will be appreciated!

Thanks.

Use VBScript.
