I am trying to copy some files (an example of one below) in the unix shell on an HP3000 so when they all get FTP'd to a network server they have the date
and time on the end of the file name to save overwriting. I believe the sytntax below is ok as it comes back with the write information but doesn't actually do the copy
as I get the "Implementation-defined error" message.

Can anyone help pr is there a better way of doing this

Many Thanks Jill
