I have a directory on a linux server ~/www/new/radio/audio/ and this directory is full of MP3 files like: ABCD\ 643\ 5600\ [login to view URL] ABCD\ 642\ 5600\ [login to view URL] ABCD\ 641\ 5600\ [login to view URL] ABCD\ 640\ 5600\ [login to view URL] ABCD\ 639\ 5600\ [login to view URL] ABCD\ 638\ 5600\ [login to view URL] ABCD\ 637\ 5600\ [login to view URL] The ABCD text stays the same, the other 643 would become 644 etc, as you can see there is a new podcast for every sunday. Now these I currently manually download with FTP from the command line/shell with by typing following commands: cd ~/www/new/radio/audo ftp server-ip username password cd "ABCD Weekly mp3 Files" prompt (turn prompt off) mget *5600?09-2?[login to view URL] usually during the week monday/tues/wed the mp3 file for next sunday becomes available, i don't like to download "duplicates" though so would like a solution so that when script checks for new available next sunday or next 2 sundays, that it won't re-download older sunday mp3 that is still on the ftp server. (i can make use of cron-job for the script you make etc...) I will post a SEPARATE new project for automatically creating the new WORDPRESS post that links to these mp3 files... thanks!

Hi, how about if you use rsync to sync the mp3 files that you want? I think rsync could different which one file is the newest or older so I think you couldn't get the duplicate files. Don't forget set it with the crontab too so every sunday it could download/sync as you want. Let me know if you need my help. Thank you, Suwandy

This sort of thing is pretty much built in to linux shells with the scp command. When you say "the other 643 would become 644" are you just saying what the directory structure looks like or that you want to rename the folders? In any case I can be done with this in a few minutes.

I professionally write bash scripts and would have no problem automating the task your requesting. I feel that bash would be the most appropriate scripting language for this task.

Hi Recently I worked on Asterisk IVR project, I created a script to periodically check a new mp3 file to the FTP server, so this work is very easy for me.

I have done many similar projects. In the last program I wrote recently, I wanted to download a series of consecutive pdf files from a http server. I made a script using wget that automatically downloaded the files in the range that I needed. I can give you the script as I have it with me right now and we can start from there to refine it according to your needs.
