Copy specific date range files to another server by ftp

[syedar]

Hi all,

I need to copy specific date range files for example 24,25 and 26 Dec files to another server by ftp using find command.

Hi:

You can create to reference points (for the file age) and then use 'find' to select files within this date range. Pipe the output to your FTP script:

# touch -amt 200812240000.00 /tmp/f1
# touch -amt 200812262359.59 /tmp/f2
# find . -xdev -type f -newer tmp/f1 -a !-newer /tmp/f2 -print | myftpscript

See the 'touch' and 'find' manpages for more information.

Regards!

Hi JFR,

I think in this method search will give the result the all file from the new file which I created through touch.

Here Syedar want to search only which files are created or modify on 24 or between 24 to 26.

suraj....note the uses of "newer" and "!newer" in the command illustrated...as in "newer than 24th and not newer then 26th"...
