    This is not a Perl question at all. The answer depends on what FTP server software you're using. You'll need to R whatever FM your FTP server has.

      In a way it is a Perl question, because I need to now how to start a perl program. I am using vsftp but I dont think it supports what I want to do.

    Look at automounting the network file systems on demand, as with amd or automount. That ought to remove ftp specifics from the problem.

    I'm not sure what you need to do to make that work with Novell (IPX? Maybe Samba).

    Automounting is generally done through autofs on modern Linux systems. You can check for that in the docs or on google.
