Re: uploading a file

 Thanks for your reply,
It  should upload a csv file with date stamp onto WebDev cloud directory.the date adding part to the file works fine. however, it seems CURL have problem uploading test_$a.csv file. if I give the file test_20200929.csv name CURL command upload the file without any problem onto destination.
Thanks,

I'll revise my suggestion:

set -x  # Keep a log (but where does it go?)
date
a=`date '+%y%m%d'`;export a  # looks good.

# Then use quotation marks instead of apostrophes:
    curl --user user:password -T "/user/directory1/test_$a.csv" 'https://webcloud/directory1/directory2/'
