Get date modified of remote file

[daph]

Hi Guys,

Here is what I would like to do...currently, I have a job that gets a document from a remote ftp server by using unix commands. What I would need to get is the date the document has been updated last. Is there a way to get that date modified that we usually see with a FTP client by using unix commands? I'm not an expert in Unix and would appreciate any help.

Thanks a lot!

Take a look at the dir ftp command.

Hope This Helps, PH.
