Hi

I am trying a different way of doing that by copying the last file to a directory, them ftp the file to another server, but my cp command is failing with syntax error such as:

Code:
 pwd
/opt/fundamo/reports
-bash-3.00$ ls -lrt FundamoSettlement* | tail -1
-rw-r--r--   1 fundamo  fundamo   604080 Jul 17 02:18 FundamoSettlement_1500250109585.csv
-bash-3.00$ cp -p `ls -lrt FundamoSettlement* | tail -1` /opt/fundamo/reports/tobesent/
cp: illegal option -- w
cp: illegal option -- -
cp: illegal option -- -
cp: illegal option -- -
cp: illegal option -- -
cp: illegal option -- -
Usage: cp [-f] [-i] [-p] [-@] f1 f2
       cp [-f] [-i] [-p] [-@] f1 ... fn d1
       cp -r|-R [-H|-L|-P] [-f] [-i] [-p] [-@] d1 ... dn-1 dn
-bash-3.00$

please can you help?
