Get/put dynamic file name using FTP

Question

Hi Friends,
  I am currently using FTP_Connect, FTP_command and FTP_disconnect to get/put a file from a remote server.
But the file name was changed to add a date/time stamp.
So the filename became dynamic (example from 'test.txt' to 'test_200512160800.txt').
I tried using get test. but my FTP command failed. Do you know anyway of doing this?
Thanks.

Hi Lego,
here's another sample for the fm:
REPORT ztest_epsf.
PARAMETERS: date LIKE sy-datum,
            dir  TYPE epsf-epsdirnam,
            pattern TYPE epsf-epsfilnam,
            zid   LIKE vers_dest-rfcdest.
DATA dir_list LIKE epsfili OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA cnt_file TYPE epsf-epsfilsiz.
DATA err_file TYPE epsf-epsfilsiz.
START-OF-SELECTION.
  IF date IS INITIAL.
    date = sy-datum.
  ENDIF.
*build pattern with input-pattern and date
  CONCATENATE pattern date '*' INTO pattern.
*search for files in foreign system
  CALL FUNCTION 'EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING'
       DESTINATION                   zid
       EXPORTING
            dir_name               = dir
            file_mask              = pattern
       IMPORTING
            file_counter           = cnt_file
            error_counter          = err_file
       TABLES
            dir_list               = dir_list
       EXCEPTIONS
            invalid_eps_subdir     = 1
            sapgparam_failed       = 2
            build_directory_failed = 3
            no_authorization       = 4
            read_directory_failed  = 5
            too_many_read_errors   = 6
            empty_directory_list   = 7
            OTHERS                 = 8.
  WRITE: / pattern.
  ULINE.
  LOOP AT dir_list.
    WRITE: / dir_list-name.
  ENDLOOP.
  ULINE.
  WRITE: / cnt_file.
  WRITE: / err_file.
pls reward points for useful hints.
thanks and
regards Andreas
