in thread Automatic FTP Script?

Try installing the libnet bundle, works fine with my Activestate Perl and will install the Net::FTP for you: 
>ppm install libnet

[download]
Then look at the examples a simple ftp get shouldnt need more than ten lines of code or so.

    I'm wondering if anyone has been able to find/create an mget function for Net::FTP. Thanks.

      use Net::FTP::Common;
      ...
# Get all .png files (and .PNG, .Png, etc)
for ($object->grep(Grep => qr/\.png$/i)) {
    $object->get(File => $_);
}

      Note: this uses a regex, not a glob! And this snippet would also download files with names ending in ".png\n".
