[NTLUG:Discuss] shell script help needed

[David]

I forgot to mention the types of clients that I am connecting to.
The 209.x.x.x is a UNIX machine at a customer site running
ProFTPD 1.2.0pre9 Server.
The 10.x.x.x which is routeable from here is running eegghh  
MS-IIS version of ftp on an NT4 machine.

I considered rsync but the users on both ends are non-technical.

The thing that confuses me is that the scripts run perfectly when executed by
hand ,but when called from the cron (root or user) the script hangs in the
process table and the local file listing for the purpose of running `diff`
never happens.

The main problem seems to be getting the directory listing with the echo 
command.Transferring the files then is no problem.
