# Shell script (BASH) to backup the selected directory on server and upload to
# another ftp server securely. This script uses the gpg command to
# encrypt the .tar.gz file before upload take place.
#
# In order to run this script you must have following tools installed:
# - /usr/bin/ncftpput
# - /bin/tar
# - /usr/bin/mail
# - /usr/bin/gpg
#
# Script also mails back the ftp operation failed or not
#
# Installation:
# Customize the script according to your need. You need to setup ftp
# server, password etc. Next, you need to setup gpg user name and
# import public key so that you can encrypt the files. Usually following two
# commands needed for gpg:
# gpg --import userkey
# gpg --edit-key KEY_ID|USER_ID
# Command>trust
