To download multiple files, Net::FTP won't really help you that much. To download a directory or multiple directories, use Net::DownloadMirror. Here's an example downloading a directory(3272K):
#!perl use strict; use warnings; use Net::FTP; use Net::DownloadMirror; use constant HOST => 'ftp.cpan.org'; use constant REMOTE => '/pub/xemacs-www/Download/'; use constant LOCAL => '/root/Desktop/local'; use constant USER => 'anonymous'; use constant PASS => '-anonymous@'; my $ftp = Net::DownloadMirror->new( ftpserver => HOST, user => USER, pass => PASS, debug => 1, localdir => LOCAL, remotedir => REMOTE, ); $ftp->Download();
