I have finally completed my ftp shell script. What it does is compresses all of Mandy's work files and then encrypts it using my gpg key and then sends (by ftp) it to my ISP server.

As a nice touch I made it a cron job, so that it automatically does all of this at 8:30pm every Sunday. The great thing is that it also sends Mandy an email to report on the success of the operation. This is so cool.

Hooray for Linux!
