You can get the date via the date command which lets you specify a date format via %d, %m, etc.  Cron treats % characters as special so you need to escape them.  Something like this should copy your file at the top of every hour. 0   *   *   *   *   scp -r <foldername> user@server:path/to/destination/$(date +\%d\%m\%y\%H\%M\%S)
