Use AFT to transfer only the latest files from a directory

[felix_clerc]

I have to put in place a chain that will transfer files to do some processes, and that will copy the input files to a backup flder with timestamp.

No problem with that using the rename functionnality.

My problem is that I also have to put in place a chain that should run on demand, that needs to collect the latest archived files and centralized them as an "archive"

The first chain can be run several times before the second one is executed.

I need to use AFT as the files are on a Novell server without agent, meaning I cannot use a script to do it (or at least not easily as it would need to run on another machine and do all of its calculation through ftp).

Anyone got an idea on how to do this from within AFT? Maybe calculating based on some CTM variables?

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Felix
