The file is a csv file created every day. then the file will stamp with todays date at the end of it before upload, The CURL command is a part of Linux cron job which will run on daily bases to create and then transfer each days new csv file onto a WebDav directory..

A few questions/thoughts:

Are those the exact crontab commands, or are they in a shell script?

Can you get a log of the job as it ran with "set -x" if in a script?

Shell variables are not evaluated between apostrophes.
only between quotation marks, so:
    curl --user user:password -T '/user/directory1/test_'"$a"'.csv' 'https://web_cloud.com/directory1/directory2/

Is "a" set in that same script? I don't believe cron jobs
inherit environment variables from the submitter.
