Bash script to backup using lftp

Can use below script to gzip a folder, and upload to a FTP site. We can use a cron task to schedule it.



#!/bin/bash

Fn=myvps-backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).tar.gz

tar cf - websites | gzip -9 - > $Fn  lftp -u user@name,password myhostname.com << EOF

set ssl:check-hostname no

set ssl:verify-certificate false

cd /public_ftp

put $Fn

bye
