I've never had to do a automated task on my Linux box before and had a
question.

From what I've read, I need to use the cron command & create a cron
tab? Does this sound right?

If so, can someone tell me if cron can do this before I start studying
it too deeply. I need my Linux box every hour to upload some text
files in a certain dir via FTP. Is this feasable w/ cron, or is there
some easier/better/correct way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Scott
