bash script to get modified file on remote server

i want to connect to a secure ftp server and check inside each file inside a directory if its modification date is more than 3 days.

want to achieve this with a bash script using CURL.

here is what i have tried :

for i in `curl  -l -k --ftp-ssl ftp://"$ftp_username":"$ftp_password"@$ftp_ip:$ftp_port/$ftp_path/ `; do
{

    echo "Checking the modification date of $i";

    if ["$(( $(date +"%s") - $(stat -c "%Y" $i) ))" -gt "259200" ]; then
        echo "modified file found ";
    else
        echo "no modified file found";
    fi
};
done;

i get this error :

  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0  3266    0     0   6980      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--  7525
Checking the modification date of products
stat: cannot stat `products': No such file or directory
./remove_products.sh: line 18: 1373903124 -  : syntax error: operand expected (error token is "-  ")

what am i doing wrong ?

any help would be appreciated

Change:

if ["$(( $(date +"%s") - $(stat -c "%Y" $i) ))" -gt "259200" ]; then

to:

if [ "$(( $(date +"%s") - $(stat -c "%Y" $i) ))" -gt "259200" ]; then

Spaces around the [ are required.
