Hi,

Currenty I am transfering the files which are in list-test.txt. Below is the code for same -

file_ftp ()
{
while read inFile
do
    #inFile=abc.arch.gz
    FILETYPE=$inFile
    ftp -in $GATEWAY1 <<!
    user $USERID1 $PASSWD1
    lcd $PICKUPDIR
    cd $DROPDIR1
    bin
    mput $FILETYPE
    bye
!
done < /home/rgupta/list-test.txt
}

Now i want to transfer the files which are 2 days old. I will be running this through cron jos on alternate day basis basis. So for this i want to use find /home/rgupta/hmreports/*.* -type f -mtime -50 -exec ls -lrt {} \; command.

Could you please let me know the way to use this?

Thanks

Assuming your "find" command is correct in that you only want to search directories with a full stop in their name:

file_ftp ()
{
find /home/rgupta/hmreports/*.* -type f -mtime -50 -print | while read inFile
do
    #inFile=abc.arch.gz
    FILETYPE=$inFile
    ftp -in $GATEWAY1 <<!
    user $USERID1 $PASSWD1
    lcd $PICKUPDIR
    cd $DROPDIR1
    bin
    mput $FILETYPE
    bye
!
done
}
