Hi I'm doing the same thing,
using a bash script on a Red Hat Linux box.
Can anybody tell me how I can generate a filename which incorporates a timestamp (i.e. so its unique each time its generated) from a bash script?
Heres my FTP stuff:
#!/bin/sh
ftp -inv <<!
open 12.12.12.12
user username password
bin
put filename.ext
quit

Hi,
Create 1 variable to get your timestamp. eg
#!/bin/sh
time=`date | awk '{print $4}'`
ftp -inv <<!
open 12.12.12.12
user username password
bin
put filename.ext filename_$time.txt
quit
Timestamp the file was created or timestamp the file is transfer?
