in reply to Need help deleting IQ Folders

I'm kind of confused. It sounds like you want to automate telneting into a server and deleting some files, but in your example, you say "$ftp" (which presumably isn't a telnet object) and "system" (which deletes files on your local system, not on a remote one).

Perhaps you want to look at using Net::Telnet's cmd method?

    Telnet is highly insecure and should never be recommended. Use SSH whenever possible!

    I use ftp to get some log files then remove or delete them from the server which works good. I am trying to do the same with the folders (ie {FJWEOI-3HEJW....}).
