sorry for what is I'm sure a hopelessly newby question
(hey, but I AM a hopeless newby so what can I do)

I want a list of files that are at least a day old.
I tried variations of:
curl -l --time-cond -yesterday 'theirServerLocation'
and
curl -l --time-cond -curl_getdate "2006 Dec 18 19:49:37"
'theirServerLocation'

but it always lists everything

[
Actually I'm doing this through AppleScript so I REALLY did
stuff like this:

        set theirServerLocation to "ftp://" & cell "Preferences::APUserName"
                 & ":" & cell "Preferences::APPW" & "@" & cell
"Preferences::APDownloadURL"
        set delL to (do shell script "curl -l --time-cond -yesterday " &
quoted form of (theirServerLocation))
        set delL to (do shell script "curl -l --time-cond -curl_getdate " &
                  quoted form of "2006 Dec 18 19:49:37" & " " & quoted form of
(theirServerLocation))
        -- even tried the http version:
        set delL to (do shell script "curl -l -z -yesterday" & quoted form
of (theirServerLocation))
        set delL to (do shell script "curl -l -z -yesterday " & quoted form
of (theirServerLocation))

]

Does the time-cond only work with down/uploading?
If so is there a way of doing this without having to list
everything and then parse it?

Any help would be appreciated
