recursive ftp client

MoshePupkin has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I was looking for a Perl module that can do an FTP sync. The only thing that I found was Net::FTP::Recursive, which however has a few issues: 1. It will fetch everything, including the files that have not changed 2. It does not work with MS Windows FTP server I can probably fix both issues, but I was wondering whether there is a solution which does not require coding. Thanks

You can explore realization of FTPSync.pl, is a PERL script to synchronize a local directory tree and a remote FTP directory tree. http://ossw.ibcl.at/FTPSync/	[reply]
