copy and rename

2021-02-10 21:29

Is there a way to copy a file from a ftp server to the local machine and rename the file at the ftp server?

ex. script

open sftp://xxxxxxxxxx
cd /customer
lcd c:\ftpsrv\customer
mget -neweronly filename*.txt  
exit

this allows me to download the file to the local folder, but I don't see a way to get the filename to rename it.

To rename a remote file, use the mv command:
