You have to loop through the files from one directory and compare it with other one using -newer option of find command if its new copy or move the new file to the other directory..

To get help:

- Show a listing of the two directories, with one or two files in each.
- Show what the desired result is, how it will look after the script runs.
- Show what you've tried so far.

This will help people understand what you are trying to do, keep us from trying to read your mind. Smilie
