can anyone plz help me in writing the shell script with the following requirements

I have a directory which has a lot of files getting generated automatically every 15 minutes .The script has to identify the files which are created in the last 15 min (configurable ) and transfer them to another FTP server automatically.The file naming convention will be YYYYMMDDHHmmss.* .Files should be renamed in the source directory once copied to the desination with some extension .

Thanks

My guess is the hangup is doing the every-15-minutes thing. I would do this:

#!/bin/ksh

list=`find /path/to/dir -newer /tmp/.timestamp -print`
ftp_list_to_server # $list contains your files
touch /tmp/.timestamp # holds the time when you last ftp'ed over

for information about ftp'ing automatically, you can go to
