how to create dirname dynamically using variable when ftping 1

[wannabegood]

How do you dynamically create a dirname using variable in a shell script or perl script which runs everyday automatically in a batch when ftping from unix to ntserver?

Is it possible?

Thank you very much

mkdir $VAR should work

what variable are you trying to use?

for example if you want to create a directory in the user's home/transfer directory for today's date in bash

#!/bin/bash
$basedir=$HOME/transfer
$mydate=`date +%d-%M-%Y`
mkdir $basedir/$mydate

this would make a /home/d3vnull/transfer/29-Jul-2002 directory (today <G>)

Hope that helps
