in reply to Remote Backup

Hi sir,

I notice that this is your first post. At time of writing you have posted a question at the end of an unrelated thread. Your question should have been a thread in its own right under the Seekers of Perl Wisdom section of this site. Check out the PerlMonks FAQ and How do I post a question effectively? if you have not done so already.

Regards a Perl solution to your question, have you looked at the module Net::FTP::Recursive? I think this is a good starting point for you as the documentation is good and there are sample scripts included. If you need help installing modules check out Modules: How to Create, Install, and Use from the tutorials section of this site.

Hope this helps.

Martin
