[Patrick Wallek]

While in ftp:

get remote_file_name local_file_name

or

put local_file_name remote_file_name

If you are get'ting a file The local_file_name can be different from the original. If you are put'ting a file the remote_file_name can different from the original.

ftp does not support the execution of remote commands. What you can do is
either
use local DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d)
or
use remote DATE=$(remsh remotehost 'date +%Y%m%d')

The second option requires additional access privileges on the remote host, which a ftp-user usually does not have (see man remsh, .rhosts, inetd.sec).

try rcp:
rcp host2:/a/file /here/file

Later,

After ftp:
#remsh remote_host -l remote_login_name -n "DATE=$(date +%Y%m%d);mv /PATH/ppp /PATH/ppp.${DATE}"
