Hello fellow monks!
Here's the picture,
I have, say 8 workstations in a network. All these machines are in DMZ(De militiarized zone). There is a perl script which runs on all these boxes and it creates a log file. Say the log file is populate.log file in a folder called reports

What I require is that, to get the text file from each of these boxes to my local drive. Will I be able to do the same using a socket-server connection (which I am not familiar with ) over a secure port for these boxes which are in dmz. If so, then what are the permissions and pre-requisites to perform the same. Otherwise, is there any other alternative?

I have tried ftp as well as creating a folder share, but ftp fails to do so from a box which is under DMZ, and i have to get special priledges for it, which I think would take quite some time.

Any help would suffice
Thanks for your time.
