Hi, this script looks pretty cool, but I am after something to recursively PUT files, rather than to recursively GET them. I have not had a close look at the script yet, but expect it to be pretty complex to understand.
I have just purchased a nas device for backup purposes. it has a ftp server, and I would like to send all the files from my small linux server up to it for backup. I cannot use tar to make a large file and send up one file only because there is a 4 gig file limit on the nas device.
I realise that some time has passed since the script was posted, but I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance, Robert

SCRIPT-EMAIL(8) System Administration Commands SCRIPT-EMAIL(8)
NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications
DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
addresses specified in the MAILTO property.
PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
script configuration.
MAILTO
List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"
EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
notification.
define script-tool pre-email {
comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
plugin "script-email"
execute-on pre-dle-backup
execute-where server
property "mailto" "amanda"
}
define dumptype user-tar-email {
user-tar
script "pre-email"
}
