Hi Robin,
There is a changes on the scenario, lets say I have a development server A running AIX 7.1 with ip 192.168.82.22 and a windows workstation with ip 192.168.82.44 and the ftp connection is opened.
for server A under the /app/gg/it there will be file generated every hour and another fie generated daily,what i need to do is to find the files lets say from may 2017 till yesterday and gzip it then ftp it over to the workstation assuming the ftp is ok. how should my scripts looks like?
Here I created a script but don't know its was right or wrong as I do not have a chance to test on the real development environment.

Code:

 
#!/bin/bash
 
cd /app/gg/it
 
find /app/gg/it -name "Data_to_check_*" -type f -mtime +0 -exec gzip {} \;
 
find /app/gg/it -name "log_to_check_*" -type f -mtime +0 -exec gzip {} \;
 
HOST=192.168.82.44
 
USER=admin
 
PASS=abc123
 
DIR1=$(date +"%Y_Data")
 
DIR2=$(date +'%Y_log")
 
DADIR="/app/gg/it/"
 
LODIR="/app/gg/it/"
 
DAFILE=$(date + "Data_%Y%m%d*.gz")
 
LOFILE=$(date + "log_%Y%m%d*.gz")
 
echo "backup file to admin workstation"
 
ftp -n -v $HOST <<EOF
 
user "$USER" "$PASS"
 
prompt
 
ascii on
 
mkdir "$DIR1"
 
cd "$DIR1"
 
mkdir "$DIR2"
 
cd "$DIR2"
 
lcd $DADIR
 
mput $DAFILE
 
lcd $LODIR
 
mput $LOFILE
 
quit
 
EOF
