Dear

You can grep the output of ls by using following command

ls -ltr | grep rahul

In above command you are listing all the things in current directory but greping rahul in that directory so output for this command will be grepe rahul.

Dear

I want do the following (in the same shell procedure):

1) list the content of the remote ftp host
2) pipe the listing to grep

This should work:

ftp -n $1 <<! | grep $4
USER $2 $3
ls
bye
