You just have to make some changes on the script upper.

What you did before might not be good, because you're going to erase each occurrence of your UCS file (because it will always have the same name).

With my script below, your UCS will have the date as filename.

Here it is :

!/bin/bash
$DATE=`date "+%m_%d_%y"`

Here we create the ucs archive
tmsh save sys ucs $DATE

Here we do the same with ftp
ftp -n your_server <


What you have to define is : Your_Username, Password and Backup_Directory
