Hi Experts,

Looking for your helpful Inputs,

In Bash shell scripting, How to copy Latest file from Remote server directory to local server.

Yes, this command ls -rt FILE*|tail -1 is showing the desired file, but how to download this latest file to local directory from remote server.

Could you please suggest? Thanks in advance for your helpful tips.

Well, #1 do not post the same question twice in different areas of this site. IT violates a rule.
See https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...er-4175654239/
Pick one, please, to host answers and close the other.

Update: never mind, that appears to have been done for you now.

#2 have you examined the man pages for scp, sftp, rsync, or any other tools for copying files between nodes?

Your question is very vague and tells us nothing about the relationship between the local and remote machines.

There are many tools and protocols available for file transfer, but no special built-in bash command for doing so.

I usually recommend sftp for most file transfers across the public network. Rsync over ssh might allow you to more easily specify the desired file by timestamp (i.e. most recent). Your choice might also be influenced by whether the transfer is over the internet or only across a LAN, the OS of the client and server machines, access controls... many variables to consider which no one here is aware of.
