Take a look at Net::FTP. It is my stock in trade and I use it all the time. Works great, lasts a long time. Actually I prefer Net::SCP::Expect since I normally eschew clear text protocols. Peter L.

You might look at ftp.pl for a start. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku ................... flash japh	[reply]

Any error messages? CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout.

"does not quite work" isn't an error report. You're going to have to say what fails to work. Show some code and the error it generates. See How do I post a question effectively? and PerlMonks for the Absolute Beginner. The more difficult you make it for people to help, the less help you're likely to receive.	[reply]

Please give a short self-contained example showing more precisely what does not work for you. See I know what I mean. Why don't you? and The SSCCE.	[reply]
