Description
Net::FTP, part of the Libnet install, implements RFC959, the FTP protocol.
Who should use it?
- Anyone wishing to transfer files to an FTP server
- Anyone wishing to transfer data from STDIN to an FTP server
- New Perl Scripters who need to practice with OO interfaces
What are the drawbacks or problems?
- It does not allow you to upload scalar data as a file
- It does not allow you to use streams other than STDIN
Example
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::FTP;
my $destserv="ftp.perlmonks.org";
my $destuser="root";
my $destpass="joph";
my $file="yourmom.jpg";
$ftp = Net::FTP->new($destserv) or die "error connecting\n";
$ftp->login($destuser,$destpass);
$ftp->binary();
$ftp->get($file) or die "error downloading\n";
$ftp->quit();

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
