Hi my brothers,
I made script which is able to transfer file over net by ftp. This script is called from web interface as hyperlink -cgi-bin/ftp.pl When I click on hyperlink at my pages, script start, print simple html page - "script is started" - which is return as destination of hyperlink, and then start ftp transfer....

If ftp transfer is done before web server timeout all running well. But, if not script is terminated by webserver and so ftp transfer is interupted. Is there any way, how to start script from web, but start it as independent thread - to be independent on webserver?

If you know how to do this .... THX for your help
