I have written the following script to copy files from a directory to another directory and add time stamp to the copied file and remove the original file. I want to know if it is good for bash scripting.
 

#!/bin/bash
for FILES in ./current/*
do
cp -ur $FILES /previous/${FILE}.`date +%m%d%Y`
rm ./current/$FILES
done

I woud recommend using move instead of copy+remove, its faster. Modified version below:

#!/bin/bash
cd ./current

for FILES in *

do

  mv $FILES /previous/${FILES}.`date +%m%d%Y`

done
