in reply to File transfer over SFTP - Passive mode?

Nope. FTP over SSL is that. SFTP uses the SSH protocols, and "passive mode" wouldn't make sense, since there's ever only one major connection between client and server. (Data streams are handled as sub-connections, not parallel connections.)

    Thanks a lot for clarifying that for me :) Is there a Perl module I can/should use for secure (SSL) FTP transfers?
