This is a pretty neat idea, but what is wrong with FTP? This may be a perl site, but I can see only one case where you wouldn't want to use FTP to transfer files: port 21 is unavailable to you. What advantages does this have over using already established and reasonably secure standards for transferring files? This also seems a lot like security by obscurity. You are using a port only YOU know, right? Well anyone with a port scanner and a grudge can find out anything. Trust me. I am not being cruel, but I'm just adding a SysAdmin's point of view. I don't like rolling my own solution when standard solutions work so well. Subscribe to lwall's virtue of laziness. It will save you time and energy. J. J.
