Hi, I would like to log in to a tcp and get a file from there. Tried with this ;
require "ftp.pl";

$ftpHost = "x.x.x.x";

if (&ftp::open($ftpHost,21,0,1) != 1) 
{    die "Can't open $ftpHost\n";
}
if (&ftp::login("name","pwd") != 1)
{    die "Can't login to $ftpHost\n";
}
if (($pwd = &ftp::pwd) eq "") 
{    die "Can't get current directory\n";
}
print "pwd = $pwd\n";

$newCwd = "/perl";
if (&ftp::cwd($newCwd) != 1)
{    die "Can't cwd to $newCwd \n";
}
if (&ftp::dir_open !=1 )
{    die "Can't open directory for reading\n";
}
print "Directory listing for $newCwd:\n";
while (&ftp::read() > 0)
{    print $ftp::buf;
}
if (&ftp::dir_close != 1)
{    die "can't close directory read\n";
}

$file = "x.pm";
print "Getting $file \n";

#if (&ftp::get($file,"NewName") != 1)
if (&ftp::get($file) != 1)
{    die "Can't get $file\n";
}

&ftp::close;

but it gave me this :
Can't locate sys/socket.ph in @INC (did you run h2ph?) (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-lin ux /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /us r/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1/i386-linux /us r/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.6.1 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/chat2.pl line 18

I checked and there is no sys/socket.ph. May I know what the problem is and how to solve it ?

next step is, I need to put this into the web, how do I integrate the file into website or what CGI should I write to execute(trigger) this program ? Thanks

Edit: Added <code> tags, larsen
