I have some connections that will be FTP, some that will be FTPS and some that will be SFTP. The FTPS and SFTP connections will be using .pub, .pem, and .crt file certificates. (Mostly RSA certs)

I have researched and I see:

• Net::FTPSSL
• Net::SFTP
• Net::FTP

Does anyone know how to use file certificates to establish a new connection on these? (excluding the FTP one of course) I see Net:FTPSSL uses SSL_Client_Certificate which I am assuming can be passed a file path. (am I right there?)I don't see anything in Net::SFTP or it's parent Net::SSH::Perl for passing args of file locations though.

Is there better/easier module(s) to use for these types of file transfers?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: FYI, this will be an FTP client only that will connect to a server and download all of the files in the default directory.
