I could also change the: -mtime -2 to just going back one day, as in -mtime -1 since running the script with cron every night. It doesn't matter If I send duplicate files though, its better to do that than to miss any files, so maybe its better to keep it at -2

After some searching I will give up on the ftp command and go with cURL instead, that seemed more simple and I could get the whole command in just a single line.

So my full script will be:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
FILE=$(find /path/to/directory -name "*_HIGHRES.pdf" -type f -mtime -2)
curl --upload-file $FILE ftp://user:password@ftp.someserver.com
