The script below uploads files to a web server. Currently it
overwrites a file if it already exists. I'm instead trying to rename
the old file with an appended date/timestamp before the new file is
uploaded. I *think* I have the idea down but it's not be implemented
in the script correctly. Any hints would be great, thanks.
