Re: FTP in TELNET

Hi,

I notice this is your first post (as a registered user).
If you have not done so I would suggest reading PerlMonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively?.

It sounds like you want to connect to another host via telnet, then ftp from there to another server.

Net::Telnet would be the module to look at for connecting via telnet. However, considering that you will be sending data as plain text when using telnet (and that you are sending ftp username and password) I would suggest looking at Net::SSH.

Once you have connected to the target server (hopefully by SSH) you can issue commands to ftp on the remote server.

Should you need help installing moduled read the tutorial pertinent to your OS.

Hope this helps.

Martin

Hi Martin Thank you very much for the quick reply. Yes this is my first post and sorry for the ignorance. I can only use telnet not ssh unfortunately. I agree that this is unsafe but its all i can work with for now. I have tried to ftp from within the telnet session, but to no avail. Please could you suggest something. PS: i am using linux. Kind Regards Spyda	[reply]

Spydaw, Did you read the link I posted "How do I post a question effectively?" ? Or the module documentation? Post your code and the error you are receiving. Martin	[reply]
