What I'm trying to do is figure out how to ftp a set of random files each day about 50 or so maybe more or less.
I have a folder on my server that gets about 1000 or so new files each day, each with today's date in the file name. We just want to take a sample each day for quality checks.
eg. testnumberssomethingelse20071121morenumbers
What I need to do is grab 50 random files for today's date and upload them via ftp. I have all the code for ftp and what not, I just don't know how to pick out 50 or so files out of 1000+ and direct them to my ftp process.
Here is my current script without randomization, which I've gather mostly from here.

SIMPLEFTP(1) InterNetNews Documentation SIMPLEFTP(1)NAME
simpleftp - Rudimentary FTP client
SYNOPSIS
simpleftp url [...]
DESCRIPTION
simpleftp is a Perl script that provides basic support for fetching files with FTP in a batch oriented fashion. It takes one or more FTP
URLs on the command line. The file(s) will be retrieved from the remote server and placed in the current directory with the same basename
as on the remote; e.g., <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/active.gz> is stored as active.gz in the current directory.
The script properly understands usernames, passwords and ports specified as follows:
ftp://user:password@host:port/path/file
BUGS
simpleftp is an extremely poor substitute for more complete programs like the freely available wget or ncftp utilities. It was written
only to provide elementary support in INN for non-interactive fetching of the files in <ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/pgpcontrol/> or
<ftp://ftp.isc.org/pub/usenet/CONFIG/> without requiring administrators to install yet another package. Its shortcomings as a general
purpose program are too numerous to mention, but one that stands out is that downloaded files by simpleftp override existing files with the
same name in the local directory.
