Apparently it was = renamed. I'm trying to set up a script that will tar a file, encrypt it with = ccrypt -K pass -e file.tar.gz, and send it via ftp to a server so it can = be stored. I've got the tarring done, though for some reason it's preserving the = whole directory structure and puts the file under home/vertigo/moo/db.db = rather than just untarring db.db I'm at a loss, as to how to make it preserve the date through backup = though. This is my current script: tar -zcvf ~/backups/`date '+%m-%d-%Y_%H'`.tar.gz ~/moo/db.db=20 Because it's storing the time, I need a way to keep the filename in tact = when I ccrypt it, and then ftp it. I'm able to ccrypt, but I am looking for solutions on sending it via = ftp, ideas would be welcome there. I just almost lost a whole db, which is the code for my mud that I"ve = been working on the past two months, and it would've cost me a ton of = time wasted, so I'm taking extra precautions.
