<div>i switched Android's script from bash to python last month just to deal with FTP more conveniently:</div><div><br></div> <a href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/5d967e43d03e9c916548b9c290b0c4138df2f1f8">https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/5d967e43d03e9c916548b9c290b0c4138df2f1f8</a><br>
<br>anyone who's looking for the three[-ish] lines of python can search for 'nlst' in this change: <a href="https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/5d967e43d03e9c916548b9c290b0c4138df2f1f8%5E!/#F0">https://android.googlesource.com/platform/bionic/+/5d967e43d03e9c916548b9c290b0c4138df2f1f8%5E!/#F0</a> <div>

</div>> You could parse the output of lftp or ncftpls in long-listing mode: ...<br>
<br>
Or just look at the names of the tarballs to see if a new one showed up. If you sort them lexicographically, ignoring any that have two-digit years, any new one is the last one in that list.<br>
<br>
I've been using that approach for a while now, it's about 3 lines of Python...<br>
