I'm unclear why that would be a good thing to do, but Net::FTP could do it. So can emacs (you can edit a file on a remote FTP server without creating a local copy).	[reply]

Yes you/perl can. Care to share your attempts to do this with us, or do you want us to do all the work for you? "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]

Touché. Here is what I have after checking on Net::FTP. My problem now is in going from $myfile to MYFILEHANDLE. `Use Net::FTP; $myfile = "Two lines\n of text"; $ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.myhost.com", Debug => 0); $ftp->login('user','pass'); $ftp->cwd("/example"); $ftp->put(MYFILEHANDLE,filename.txt); $ftp->quit;` [download] Thanks again!

Pre-perl5.8: check out IO::String. Perl5.8+: you can still use IO::String, but you can also do this: `open my $fh, '<', \$myfile; $ftp->put($fh, 'filename.txt');` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
