i understand why you put the executable paths in but what is this line for -
It means: if this shell happens to open another shell (for instance by calling another script) the current value of the exported variable will be known there. Right now there is no such other shell called so this is not necessary. But in case you do call another shell at some time in the future it will be good to be there so you can't forget to add it. Again: maintainability at work.

The same way you cycle through the subdirectories of "/to_be_archived": using the for-loop for tarring, rsyncing and everything else. Like this (i put a header line in for every directory to make it easier to read - it serves no other purpose so feel free to modify the format or drop it alltogether if you don't like it):
Hi.
I'm trying to copy multiple folders from the remote machine to the local machine. I wrote a batch file to run an ftp window.
The problem I am having is that the only command to copy files is mget *, and this copies only files, not folders.
For example, ftp ts555

continue
continue(3tcl) Tcl Built-In Commands continue(3tcl)__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________NAME
continue - Skip to the next iteration of a loop
SYNOPSIS
continue
_________________________________________________________________DESCRIPTION
This command is typically invoked inside the body of a looping command such as for or foreach or while. It returns a TCL_CONTINUE code,
which causes a continue exception to occur. The exception causes the current script to be aborted out to the innermost containing loop
command, which then continues with the next iteration of the loop. Catch exceptions are also handled in a few other situations, such as
the catch command and the outermost scripts of procedure bodies.
EXAMPLE
Print a line for each of the integers from 0 to 10 except 5:
for {set x 0} {$x<10} {incr x} {
if {$x == 5} {
continue
}
puts "x is $x"
}
