Answer 1

You'll need to build the script file dynamically and then call it.

@echo off
SET Today=%Date:~10,4%-%Date:~4,2%-%Date:~7,2%
SET ftpscript=%TEMP%\ftpscript.txt

echo open 11.111.13.11 > %ftpscript%
echo username >> %ftpscript%
echo password >> %ftpscript%
echo cd /data/%Today% >> %ftpscript%
echo lcd d:\ >> %ftpscript%
echo binary >> %ftpscript%
echo prompt >> %ftpscript%
echo mget *.csv >> %ftpscript%
echo bye >> %ftpscript%

ftp.exe -s:%ftpscript%

Note the first echo overwrites and the rest append.
