Download remote file from batch? (plink, putty, winscp...)
Id like to download a remote file, im able to get its name with a unix order, so i want to create a batch able to get remotely this file and download it locally, i would like to use plink but i'm open to other options.
this is the unix command that retrieves the file name to be downloaded
ls -alrt C*.TXT | tail -1 | awk '{print $NF}'

where is that file ? ftp server ? http server ?
wget will handle ftp and http nicely
scp or sftp will handle corresponding ways to download a file
curl will handle all of the above and a few others
the samba package contains tools to download from a windows share
.... many other options depending on the URL

Download the Windows tool "pscp" (part of the PuTTY suite) from the same location where you downloaded "plink" from.

Modify it to a script taking as argument the filename
and call that ftpscript for each filename found in the batch
