Hi Im trying to write a bash script which will run on Checkpoint Secureplatform (which is Redhat indeed) seems below. First part of the script will make an yesterdays log archive , other part will copy this archive to an ftp server. The archive creation process works fine when ftp part is commented or deleted, but doesnt work. As one script or another script for ftp, how can i work this to create the archive and and copy it to the ftp site.
