in reply to Auto-resuming with Net::FTP

[...] upload very large [...] files over potentially unreliable connections

Consider using rsync instead of FTP. Wrapped in an ssh connection, this also avoids sending a password in plain text over the wire. Plus, you can use a public-key pair to entirely get rid of sending passwords.

    Thanks a lot for that. It's a very good point, I may not be able to do it in practise though as the system is for a large company where it is quite difficult to persuade people to run things differently on servers/firewalls. I'll give it a go, but I think I may be stuck using FTP for the time being.
