Re^2: Using Perl FTP to write a string variable as a file

Hello wise men,

may I ask please, if this topic was solved? I have the same issue her but may be under other circumstances.

My situation is as follows, I did in the past a save of a file first and then trasfered it via Net::FTP. Now I get the content of the file and a file name and have to do FTP without saving it first.

I did understand that the first hint was to open a file handle with the pointer to a scalar variable. I will test this but I also would appreciate to know, if some reader of this had tested it and was successfully.

thanks in advance, regards, Thomas

Try using a lexical filehandle `open( my $FH, "<", \$content ) or die "Kann File Handle nicht zum lesen aus content oeffnen"; . . $ftp->put( $FH, $remotefilename ) or die "put failed (Passive=$passive) ", $ftp->message, "; local +filename(FH): [$localfilename], remotefilename: [$remotefilename]"; $ftp->quit; close( $FH );` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]

Dear poj, many thanks, this works in my test script now. will try to move this to my live script. Thanks again and best regards, Thomas PS: I guess a : `binmode( $FH );` ... after open will be processed correctly	[reply] [d/l]
