Hi I have been able to rename a file in the remote server> Thank you!
However I had this problem
If I had
 new_file =`date '+%H%S'`$file
curl --insecure --verbose --disable-epsv -B -Q "-RNFR $file" -Q "-RNTO
$new_file" --ftp-ssl -T $WORKDIR$file -u $USERID:$PASSWD $FSECURELOC

The value for $new_file was not being translated ..I got the error that
the paramenter for RNTO was not given.

However if I gave the same as
curl --insecure --verbose --disable-epsv -B -Q "-RNFR $file" -Q "-RNTO
`date '+%H%S'`$file" --ftp-ssl -T $WORKDIR$file -u $USERID:$
PASSWD $FSECURELOC

Is there any spefic reason why I could not use a variable in RNTO?? I
did not have the proble at RNFR.
 
 

Thanks,
Jaya V.

Right, since neither "RENAME" nor "ls" are valid FTP commands.

Try this reference: http://curl.haxx.se/rfc/rfc0959.txt

Rename is done with RNFR and RNTO, while "ls" is not at all possible to
do
using the quote approach.
