[SOLVED] bash script to get only the latest file from server

This bash script gets messages stored on the server.

How can I alter it to only get the latest message, or messages after a certain date?

Quote:
# now get the latest HW
echo "Fetching any messages ... "
# ssh -p 22 -i ~/.ssh/my_cloud_ed25519 pedro@123.123.123.123
user="pedro"
server="123.123.123.123"
Answers="/home/pedro/messages"
# where the uploaded contact messages go on the cloud server
# can't get the email to work
path1="/var/www/pedro.com/public_html/contact/messages"
echo "Second, get the files from the remote server to this computer."
rsync -av --remove-source-files --progress -e 'ssh -p 22 -i ~/.ssh/my_cloud_ed25519' $user@$server:${path1}/* "${Answers}"
echo "Got the files and saved them to "$Answers
echo "All done!"
Thanks for any tips!
