Renaming file after downloading with today's date?

Hi, I am using WinSCP for SFTP and it is working beautifully. I reference a txt file (see code below) and I call if from an SSIS package. The last thing I want to do is rename the source file to filename_todaysdate.txt. I have tried %date% but it just puts %date% in the filename, not the actual date. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

cd /home/emppfu/downloads
# Force binary mode transfer
option transfer binary
# Download file to the local directory d:\
get CDS_STAGE.txt "\\Entp14\empgroup\BSG\CDS Balancing\ToBeProcessed\"
# Disconnect
close
# Exit
exit

I called it from my execute process task in ssis and it gave me a ton of errors...sorry I am a newbie to this...

I referenced the .txt file in the arguments line, so I replaced it with the example file (see below)

Executable: C:\Program Files\WinSCP\WinSCP.com
Arguments: -script=C:\download.js
Working directory: C:\Program Files\WinSCP

just trying to rename the file with today's date using script commands and it didn't work.

mv CDS_STAGE.txt %date:~4,2%-%date:~7,2%-%date:~10,4%.txt

.js is WSH script, not WinSCP script
