You can use a filemask with time-constraint:

Like get *<2D>=3D = download all files newer than 3 days but older than 2 days.

You are missing exit command at the end of the script.

downloading specific folder

Hi Guys,

Hope somebody can help, this has been bugging me for two days now.
ive searched through the posts concerning but each one gets me a little more confused.

I simply want to download a cpanel backup automatically to my home pc every day,
so far I have the script below which downloads everything in the backups folder but I want to just download the accounts folder.

My problem is one of the folder names changes to the current date every day.
ie:
/backup/2015-04-16/accounts

so the date part changes to the next day every day, and its just the accounts folder I want to download.

I believe this is what I need:
$stamp = $(Get-Date -f "yyyyMMdd")
but I cant get it to work what ever I do.

any ideas what I need to do would be appreciated, thank you.
