The ls -t | head -n 1 will always output only one file, while your find code could mess up and do two uploads if you happen to force a manual backup or somesuch one day and end up with two files on the same day.

The code's exactly as I have it written. It's the ending eof that has to be on the beginning of the line, not the beginning <<EOF -- that's supposed to be right after the command, where I have it. Copy-paste it and it'll be correct.

FTPUSERS(5)						     Linux Programmer's Manual						       FTPUSERS(5)

NAME

       ftpusers - list of users that may not log in via the FTP daemon

DESCRIPTION

       The  text  file	ftpusers  contains a list of users that may not log in using the File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server daemon.  This file is
       used not merely for system administration purposes but for improving security within a TCP/IP networked	environment.   It  will  typically
       contain	a  list  of  the  users that either have no business using ftp or have too many privileges to be allowed to log in through the FTP
       server daemon.  Such users usually include root, daemon, bin, uucp, and news.  If your FTP server daemon doesn't use ftpusers  then  it	is
       suggested  that	you  read  its	documentation  to find out how to block access for certain users.  Washington University FTP server Daemon
       (wuftpd) and Professional FTP Daemon (proftpd) are known to make use of ftpusers.

   Format
       The format of ftpusers is very simple.  There is one account name (or username) per line.  Lines starting with a # are ignored.

FILES

       /etc/ftpusers

SEE ALSO

       passwd(5), proftpd(8), wuftpd(8)
