Can somebody help me in getting the logic to write a perl ftp script which can ftp files from multiple source directories to multiple target directories. Thanks.

    The easiest way to do this is to use Net::FTP. Here is a simple bit of code that FTPs a single file: 
    
   use Net::FTP;
   
   chdir "/tmp";
   $ftp = Net::FTP->new("some.host.name", Debug => 0);
   $ftp->login("anonymous",'-anonymous@');
   $ftp->cwd("/pub");
   $ftp->get("that.file");
   $ftp->quit;

    Then use this basic idea in a loop over files for each source directory.
