Ftp from unix
Hi ,

I have some files in my Unix Server and taking backups via ftp in the remote Unix Server date vise. ie) I have a file like test.dat in my Unix Server
and wants to take the backup like test.dat_MAR2006. I will receive the test.dat file every day , and only one back up in the reomte server. I want to append the remote file through ftp , my problem is appending the Date after the file name while ftp.

I tried the below code and its not working

ftp > append test.dat_`date +%b%y`

Your suggesion should be appreciatable.

Thanks & Regards
S.Sivakumar.

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no

	   The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In order to
	   make the Solaris ftp client send LIST when the ls command is issued, set FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes
	   by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
