I have a ftp script where I changed from get to put. It runs on the local server and suppose to do a listing of all files in that directory. Afterwords, it's suppose to read the files into a list and do a put $name to the destination host. But I can't seem to figure out how to do a local directory listing once you are in a ftp session in unix. The manual says !ls -l but perl doesn't recognize it. Please help! Thanks
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::FTP;
use File::Listing qw(parse_dir);
$host = 'ServerName';
$path = '/home/';
$ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Timeout => 1800) or die "Cannot contact $h
+ost: $!";
$ftp->login('ID', 'PWD') or die "Cannot login ($host):" . $ftp->messag
+e;
$ftp->cwd($path) or die "Cannot change directory ($host):" . $ftp->mes
+sage;
#@Files = $ftp->ls('-lR');
@Files = $ftp->!ls ('-l');
#$ftp->binary();
#$ftp->ascii();
foreach $file (parse_dir(\@Files))
{
my($name, $type, $size, $mtime, $mode) = @$file;
$ftp->put("$name") or warn "Could not get $name, skipped: $!";
}
$ftp->quit;
exit;
