Finding remote filename

[arkman]

A little stuck here...

I need to determine the actual name of a file from an ftp directory and pass it into a variable. I don't know the exact name of the file, but I know where it is and what the file extension is. I need to get the actual filename to download it and then do some file manipulation to it before I pass it off to another program. So, I'm stumped...I can ftp into the directory, but I'm not sure how to find/parse/determine the file that is there. There will only ever be one file in the remote directory.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

[man]ftp_nlist[/man] returns an array of files in a given directory. if you are sure that you file you want will always be the only file there then just use the one value in the returned array.
