Thanks for the reply and sort of pointing out my mistake. So basically, the error that I'm getting "No such directory" is referring to the directory on the remote server, right?

I went ahead and looked at the threads you recommened and started going through some of the code. The code that you mentioned above, creates the file handle...can that then be used with my $ftp->put('the file handle')?

Sorry if this question is trivial, but I'm relatively new to perl. I guess asking these questions at perlmonk.org helps me to learn new things....with perl, there certainly is always something I didn't know before!!!

Any further insight on creating a !simple! upload script? Thanks in advance.
