lcd is a typical client call when FTP'ing files, however, I don't think it is universal. I just checked the POD for Net::FTP and there does not appear to be a method to do an lcd. This script would probably run best if it could be set up as a cron job on either the sending or the receiving server although if this is not possible, then it would require a third location as a temporary stopping point. As ChrisR points out, you would need to remove the files from the middle point after you had succesfully put your files to the final destination.
