I guess you have many back_YY.MM.DD folders with different date.
Yes. I have many backups with different dates and in each day is adding more.
I tested your script and something strange are happening:
- al folders beginning with back are processed ("back" "back.somename")
- on every pass i get a message about line 7:
"line 7: cd: back1: No such file or directory"
Probably because of that:
- all archives are made in root folder and not in it's own folder
- all files from subfolders are not deleted.
- archives contain all subfolders not just own folders: backup1_YYMMDD.tar.gz contain all subfolders (ex. backup1/*, backup2/*, etc) instead just backup1/* subfolder.
Even so, I can use your script as it is. Is a great time saving. Thanks again for your reply.

For example, ftp ts555
