Updated Answer
I thought your question was about FTP, but it is maybe about finding the newest file to unzip.
You can get the newest file like this:
newest=$(ls -t /home/user/public_html/folder/folder2/ftp2.directory/*zip | head -1)
and see the value like this:
echo $newest
and use it like this:
unzip -o "$newest" ...
Original Answer
You can probably string something together using lftp. For example, I can get a listing in reverse time order with the newest file at the bottom like this:
lftp -e 'cd path/to/daily/file; ls -lrt; bye' -u user,password host | tail -1
