Depending on the configuration of your local system your server may be able to connect to it, but you don't give us any details of either the server or local system. Would it not make more sense for your local system to send files to the server since it is more likely to run something like FTP/SFTP server? Martin	[reply]

Hi rahulgsp83, If I understand you correctly you have some sort of CMS system that runs on a server that users access via a browser? Or does "perl/cgi which is really on client side only" mean that this system installs on client machines? If this actually runs from a server then there are many posts here regards file uploading, for example Re: I need a simple web upload script. (super search for more examples). Martin	[reply]

Is rsync(1) - for which there are web, as well as GUI, front-ends - of no use ?? ... It's invariably better not to re-invent the wheel unless there's either no alternative or an educational/learning need. A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply]

If your CMS already has an upload facility, maybe you want to automate that through WWW::Mechanize?	[reply]
