in reply to How to share records between ftp servers?

Just an FYI, but if you're moving files from one server to another server, you'll need to download them first to wherever your script that uses Net::FTP resides before sending them on to the recipient server.

    That's not strictly always true. If the remote source server supports it, ftp permits a remote to remote transfer to be initiated by a third party client. See pasv() and pasv_xfer() calls in NET::ftp.

    The "good enough" maybe good enough for the now, and perfection maybe unobtainable, but that should not preclude us from striving for perfection, when time, circumstance or desire allow.
      WOW! Learn something new everyday. I've been using or running FTP servers for gosh about 13 years now and never knew this feature existed. Thanks!
