  • 1.  Transferring Files based on Modified Date?

    Posted Jun 04, 2025 10:49 AM

    I've had several customers reach out asking if it's possible to transfer files based on their modify date. One for example, wants to transfer all of the files if the "modified date" is yesterday's date.

    I know, for example, if the date is within the file name, I can use that SYS_DATE script function, and just do minus one somehow. 

    :SET &DATE# = SYS_DATE("DD.MM.YYYY")

    However, not all of the files will have the day stamp on them. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! I'm not even sure if this is something UC4 can do.

    Hi Daniel,

    assuming you are on Linux try using the ls or stat command to produce the list of files. Then put the commands into a BACKEND VARA and run the transfer based on the list of files the BACKEND VARA returns.
