one time automated ftp session
How can an automated script be setup to run at a later time in the day. cron runs recurring tasks. I am interested in a one time process.
I want to back up a number of files whenever I make changes to an application and ftp for backup purposes. The script to automate the zipping of files has been completed. The next goal is to automate the zip and ftp process after hours (say 0200 the next morning after I run the batch process at 1700 before I leave work), and finally upon completion, remove the local file.
Is the following format for ftp automation process close to the below...
put /backupdir/backupfile -h 123.45.678.90 -u <user>-p <password> -d /remotedir/

ciated value.
