Thanks for the information. I am new to shell scripting and this script for archiving is a bit challenging for me.
Before i start giving you tips on how to improve your script there is a general point to discuss:
Archiving files is usually done with the intent of being able to restore some previous state of a system (at least locally, say, in a certain directory). This means you do not only have to restore a files (directories) contents but some meta-information with it. Let us look at a certain file:
Obviously there is the content of the file - the 1333 bytes it takes on the disk. There is also the file mode ("rw-r--r--" or "644"), there is the ownership (owner=myuser, group membership="mygroup"), the inode number (40961) and (not completely visible) three time stamps: the creation date/time, the last modification date/time and the last access date/time. Anything beyond the file content is stored in the inode of the file.
You may need some or even all of these metadata to go along with the raw content to form an archive enabling you to restore the file.
This is why there are special archiving programs (namely "tar", "cpio" and their successor "pax") which do exactly that. This is why you should consider creating tar- (or cpio-, pax-, ...) archives first and only as a last step transfer these archives to remote systems. This way you do not need to meddle with "mget" and other options of "ftp". A single "get <archive.file>" would suffice.

dh_installdeb
DH_INSTALLDEB(1) Debhelper DH_INSTALLDEB(1)NAME
dh_installdeb - install files into the DEBIAN directory
SYNOPSIS
dh_installdeb [debhelperoptions]
DESCRIPTION
dh_installdeb is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files into the DEBIAN directories in package build directories with
the correct permissions.
FILES
package.postinst
package.preinst
package.postrm
package.prerm
These maintainer scripts are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
Inside the scripts, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.
package.triggers
package.shlibs
These control files are installed into the DEBIAN directory.
Note that package.shlibs is only installed in compat level 9 and earlier. In compat 10, please use dh_makeshlibs(1).
package.conffiles
This control file will be installed into the DEBIAN directory.
In v3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory in a package will automatically be flagged as conffiles by this
program, so there is no need to list them manually here.
package.maintscript
Lines in this file correspond to dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) commands and parameters. However, the "maint-script-parameters" should not
be included as debhelper will add those automatically.
Example:
# Correct
rm_conffile /etc/obsolete.conf 0.2~ foo
# INCORRECT
rm_conffile /etc/obsolete.conf 0.2~ foo -- "$@"
In compat 10 or later, any shell metacharacters will be escaped, so arbitrary shell code cannot be inserted here. For example, a line
such as "mv_conffile /etc/oldconffile /etc/newconffile" will insert maintainer script snippets into all maintainer scripts sufficient
to move that conffile.
It was also the intention to escape shell metacharacters in previous compat levels. However, it did not work properly and as such it
was possible to embed arbitrary shell code in earlier compat levels.
The dh_installdeb tool will do some basic validation of some of the commands listed in this file to catch common mistakes. The
validation is enabled as a warning since compat 10 and as a hard error in compat 12.

This program is a part of debhelper.
