FTP - put command with timestamp

705974Nov 13 2009 — edited Nov 17 2009
Hi there,
I need to send a file to a 3rd party (bank) and include a timestamp as part of the file. The bank suggests I include the timestamp in the "put" command. I'm only familiar on doing this with unix commands. Here's a sample of the code I have so far:
ftp ftp.bank.com
<username entered here>
<password entered here>
cd inbound
binary
put <timestamp - what syntax goes here?>.myfile.txt
quit
The timestamp format must be - HHMMSS (hour, minutes, seconds.)

Thanks for your time and input!
