If the filenames contain the date then they can be made to sort by date.

Using the FTP log file is the only other way, and the actual log file of the FTP listing will show us if that can be done.

This provides a listing of a folder. We need to see the same thing from the folder on your FTP server, showing the files.

Code: Select all

@echo off
set "site=ftp.microsoft.com"
(
echo.open %site%
echo.user anonymous password
echo.dir
)| ftp -n >log.txt
