I've done something that *might* be similar to what you're trying to do. Here's a snippet from a C shell script that ran from cron: #!/bin/csh ... set dirDate=`date +"%Y%m%d"` echo "prompt off" > put_data echo "mkdir $dirDate" >> put_data echo "cd $dirDate" >> put_data echo "mput *" >> put_data echo "bye" >> put_data ftp YOUR_SERVER < put_data >& /dev/null Hope it helps.
