find, remove, and ftp......
I have a script that is run each night by cron. This script generates an extract then places it into an 'extracts' folder and also ftp's a copy to another server.
I have set up the script to remove any files in the extracts folder greater than 28 days old (this occurs each time the script is run). This is the command.
find ${WORKdir}/extracts/ -mtime +29 -exec rm {} \; &&
Now I also want this function to occur in the folder on the other server - preferably using ftp. Here is the ftp activity I already have.
if [ -s ${EXTfile} ]
then
ftp -n ${FTPserver} << cmd
user ${FTPid} ${FTPpwd}
cd ${FTPlocation}
lcd ${WORKdir}/extracts
put ${SHORTfile}
quit
cmd
fi
Can FTP do anything like this - by using unix commands somehow?

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.
