Hello! I need to write a script that will ftp some files from an NT server down to a Unix server. Once the files have been ftp'd, I need to rename the extension of the files to .bak on the NT server. The ftp rename command does not allow wildcards, and I don't know the names of the files other than they all end in .rpt. Can anyone shed some light on how to go about doing this? My thoughts were to ftp to a special directory, do an ls >> filelist, and somehow rename using the names in $filelist. Am I on the right track, or is there an easier way?
