I want to ftp from a machine into another machine, do a find,ftp all the files, not the directories

do you mean getting or putting them by "ftp" them?

and further: 

$> perldoc Net::FTP
/find

[download]
returns pattern not found (press RETURN) there is no ftp-connection-oriented part in your find(...) statement. perldoc File::Find contains no ftp-related information.

I'm just curious, really no pun intended, after reading the docs, why did you think this should work?

If the file-count on the ftp-server side isn't to large, your recursive ls approach should work ok, because you can perform the find in your perl-script, it is kind of brute force, though.

maybe if you comment a bit on why you want to do that, the monastery may come up with a feasible solution
