Every day i ftp tar.gz a file from the production server to a back up machine.. This task creates way to much traffic on the network at the end of the day and puts and undo load on the production machine during operation hours. i would like to create a script that would automatically fire off the ftp at like 2:00 am so that the transfer occurs when there is little or no load on the network. if anyone has suggestions on how to accomplish this, PLEASE let me know...

thanks..
