Hi Anonymous Monk.
I agree with the other monks in that perl should be fully capable of receiving/transferring a 1.5G file. If an issue arises, it might be on the ISP side. The following code is untested and was modelled on the perldoc example.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::FTP;
my $ftp;
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("my_host", Timeout=>240, Debug => 0)
or die "Error: $@";
$ftp->login('id','password')
or die "Error: ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->cwd("/folder")
or die "Error with cwd command: ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->put('filename to transfer', 'filename it will be called on the r
+emote server') or die "Error in transfer: ", $ftp->message;
$ftp->quit;
Additional information can be found at: http://perldoc.perl.org/Net/FTP.html.
Hope this helps,
~Katie

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
