I'm a newbie and this is my attempt at writing a transportable subroutine that will FTP a file to a remote location. I couldn't figure out how to check for errors on the remote host, so anyone that wants to help me out, please do so ...
############################################################
#    FTP_FILE - Send a file to FTP host
#    Requires:    use Net::FTP;    # Perl module for FTP access
#     Arguments:    $sendFile - file to be sent (full path)
#                $name - file to be named on remote server
#                $host - FTP host name (ftp.japh.org)
#                $user - FTP login user name
#                $pass - FTP login password
#    Returns:    none
############################################################
sub ftp_file {
    local ($sendFile, $name, $host, $user, $pass) = @_;    # Pass file
+name to send
    
    $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host);    # Open the host
    $ftp->login($user,$pass);        # Username and password
    $ftp->put($sendFile, $name);    # Send the file, rename
    $ftp->quit;                    # Quit
}
