    1. @Echo Off
      Set _FTPServerName= ftp site address
      Set _UserName= username
      Set _Password= password
      Set _LocalFolder= C:\FTPFiles
      Set _RemoteFolder= Public\Reports\CSV
      Set _Filename= report.csv
      Set _ScriptFile=ftp1
      :: Create script
      >”%_ScriptFile%” Echo open %_FTPServerName%
      >>”%_ScriptFile%” Echo %_UserName%
      >>”%_ScriptFile%” Echo %_Password%
      >>”%_ScriptFile%” Echo lcd %_LocalFolder%
      >>”%_ScriptFile%” Echo cd %_RemoteFolder%
      >>”%_ScriptFile%” Echo binary
      >>”%_ScriptFile%” Echo get %_Filename%
      >>”%_ScriptFile%” Echo quit
      :: Run script
      ftp -s:”%_ScriptFile%”
      Del “%_ScriptFile%”

      Does this help?

    2. If you can’t generate the ftp-filename from your end, you have a long row to hoe: download a “dir” of the ftp directory, convert dates, subtract converted dates from today’s date, download all files that qualify. If it came to that, I would strive, mightily, to find a better way. “jdtt_05gbser.txt” tells me zilch about any relationship to previous filenames or the file’s date.
