retrieving data based on business date, ie 3rd business date

[dsm666]

is there a way to retrieve files based on business date, ie 5th business date or 2nd business date etc.
Basically I will envoke the ftp once I know how to calculate the busines date. If someone could help I would really appreciate it. thanks

excluding weekends.
I will just use crontab to look for files from the 6th through the 11th of every month. thanks for checking into it...
