Ftp bash script appends to file using cron instead of coping new file
I have a bash script that is running a mysql query and creating a csv file with a time stamp. It then uploads that to a ftp server. Everything works great when I manually run it. But then I have a cron job set to run every monday, wednesday and friday at 5am est. When the cron job runs, it appends to the last file. For example, the file that ran wednesday is called 15-07-08_report.csv. On Friday the cron job runs and instead of creating a new file called 15-07-10_report.csv, it just appends to the file called 15-07-08_report.csv. If I run it manually without the cron job, the bash script will create a new file on the ftp server called 15-07-10_report.csv and leave the file from wednesday. That what I want to happen when the cron job runs.
bash script:
cron job:
Any help is much appreciated. I can't figure out why the behavior would be different by using cron to run the script vs running it manually. Thanks!

echo command can append to a read-only file too.
If the file is read-only, with w flag removed, then even echo should not be able to append to the file. But it is possible.
Can anybody explain the below behaviour?

ftpconfig
ftpconfig(1M) System Administration Commands ftpconfig(1M)NAME
ftpconfig - set up anonymous FTP
SYNOPSIS
ftpconfig [ftpdir]
ftpconfig -d ftpdir
DESCRIPTION
The ftpconfig script is executed by the super user to set up anonymous FTP. Anonymous FTP allows users to remotely log on to the FTP server
by specifying the user name ftp or anonymous and the user's email address as password. The anonymous users are logged on to the FTP
Server and given access to a restricted file area with its own file system root. See chroot(2). The FTP area has its own minimal system
files.
This command will copy and set up all the components needed to operate an anonymous FTP server, including creating the ftp user account,
creating device nodes, copying /usr/lib files, and copying timezone data. The passwd and group files set up have been stripped down to
prevent malicious users from finding login names on the server. The anonymous file area will be placed under ftpdir. If the ftp user
account already exists, then the current FTP area is used, and the system files in it are updated. All other files are left untouched. This
command should be run to update the anonymous FTP area's configuration whenever a system patch is installed, or the system is upgraded.
OPTIONS -d Create a new or update an existing ftpdir without creating or updating the ftp user account. Use this option when creating guest
FTP user accounts.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
ftpdir The absolute pathname of the directory under which the anonymous FTP area is set up.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion
1 Improper usage of the command
2 Command failed
