What do you mean "grep/search" for files? If you want to search for
particular file *names*, Net::FTP can return a list of files and directories
you can examine.

If you want to search in the *contents* of files, you'll need to transfer
the files to the client side first and then search through them. There's no
way to get the FTP server to search for you, AFAIK. If this is what you're
after, perhaps FTP isn't the right solution. You might consider ssh/scp if
that's approriate for your environment.
