Please see the "LQ Question Guidelines" link in my posting signature.

We will be happy to HELP you with a script, but we are not going to write it for you. There are MANY THOUSANDS of bash scripting tutorials you can find with a brief Google search. If you post what you have written yourself and tell us what you're stuck on/confused about, we will be happy to assist.

#/bin/sh

cd
. ./.profile

cd /baksett/media/orgdata/backup

today_hour=`date +"%Y%m%d%k"`

mkdir $today_hour

mv b*.dat /baksett/media/orgdata/backup/$today_hour

cd /baksett/media/orgdata/backup/$today_hour

ftp -ni 10.20.0.18 <<EOF
user lio test
binary
mput b*.dat

Nothing where? In the newly created folder or at the ftp side?

Try adding set -x as the second line of your script and then run it, that'll let you see each line as it's being processed, you may get a clue.

in the newly created folder

Note using "%k" almost never makes sense (while "%H" does) and since you 'mv' files instead of using 'cp' there may be nothing left to move?..
To see what a script and subsequent commands actually do execute in verbose mode:

Code:

#/bin/bash -vx
TIMESTAMP=$(/bin/date +"%Y%m%d_%H")
cd
. ~/.profile
cd /baksett/media/orgdata/backup
mkdir "${TIMESTAMP}"
/bin/mv -v b*.dat "/baksett/media/orgdata/backup/${TIMESTAMP}"
cd "/baksett/media/orgdata/backup/${TIMESTAMP}"
ftp verbose -ni 10.20.0.18 <<EOF
user lio test
binary
mput b*.dat
quit
EOF

exit 0

and check the output. If unsure post everything [code]and between BB tags[/code].

Thx

We can't read minds nor look at your terminal window: post complete output and between BB code tags.

I would try ftp command on local host. For testing

Code:

ftp ni localhost << EOF ..
