Hi Anand, I don't have enough perl practise to tell how to do it in perl.
But speaking in general terms you will have to copy your ftp-script by any means available to one of the server and execute it there. If it is a perl script you need perl on the server. You will have to log into the server using e.g. telnet to start the script. Alternatively if available to you might use remote-shell (rsh) . On CPAN you find net::telnet and net::rsh to automate what you need with perl if you like. I haven't used either of them, but they seem to work similar to net::ftp !

Could you elaborate on running your perl-script or any other ftp-script remote script .

Hi Anand, I fear that you will have to run our perl-script or any other ftp-script remote on one of your servers, if you are bound to the ftp-protocol. The only alternative is to copy it first to your desktop and then to the second server. Sorry but ftp is a protocol between two points.

Is there any way of doing this .
