How to find a file and ftp it 1

[din2005]

Hi all am fairly new to unix scripting and would like to know if there is a way to identify file & directory by date created and also how to ftp the the directory/files.

Could any of u be nice enough to provide some examples or what commands i need to get me going

many thanks

I'm not sure whether I get you.
You like to download all files from - let's say Oct 18 2004?

yep

start with

man find

for finding things by various criteria.
command line ftp will only cope with single files so you might want to consider

man tar

for a way of bundling files/directories together.
Have you condsidered the secure altenatives.

man scp
man ssh
man sftp

might give some help.
As you want to minimise network traffic you might want to look at

man compress

to compress the files.
