How to grep and pipe to mput ftp
I am ptting the following into an FTOP script.
date=`TZ="aaa24" date +'%Y%m%d'` # this gets Yesterday date

.
.
.
.

mput < 'l | grep $Vdate'

# the idea to grep a listing from a directory that has yesterday date in its file name then put it in the remote FTP server. How can I get it to work

play around with this. Also note: it is a really bad idea to create and use variable names
in a shell script that are the same as a command like date.

Code:
mydate=`TZ="aaa24" date +'%Y%m%d'`
echo "
open remote_node
USER username passwd
mput *${mydate}*
bye
 " | ftp -n -i

Try it without the braces:

Code:
mput *$mydate*
