Re: How do I make Net::FTP use wildcards

I dont know if this is optimal, but you can get a list of files using ls, and then download them all:

use Net::FTP;

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("atd77.acs.org", Debug => 0);
$ftp->login("foo",'bar');

my @file_list = $ftp->ls();

foreach (@file_list) {
 $ftp->get($_);
}
[download]

Hey Fauria, thanks! Your solution I believe did the trick! Etm177's solution is probably more sophisticated, and if I run into any further challenges, I may use his mask, or else persuade the boss to install FTP::Recursive. This is really an amazing site, I love the quick responses, and know there are cool people here. Cheers! Robert	[reply]
