UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I want to FTP multiple files in a directory that the files were created since midnight of the same day using korn shell. I can use the "find" command using -newer arguement that compares against a time stamp file. The script identifies the files, I can't use a variable = `find . ` as the variable will only identify the first file it finds and echo a ./filename and FTP only that file. I need to be able to FTP multiple files Is there another way to get multiple files to do an action such as FTP?

I have answered my question by doing a "for" "in" "do" process.

Let ..... mean your extra criteria

Code:

find . -type file ....

will list only files, so assuming you have your .netrc setup.....

Code:

find . -type file ..... | while read N
do
      echo "put $N" | ftp remote-host
done
