Script that automates backups using ftp
 

Is it possible to have a script that checks all the files within a direcotry for files that have been modified then upload those which have been modified onto the ftp server. And if possible into the same directory on the ftp server but doesn't have to do this.

Maybe try lftp's mirror function

man lftp for details

ah thanks i'll give that a shot

Do you have other options? ftp is really NOT the
recommended way of doing this. How about rsync
using ssh instead?
