Hi Guys and Gals , I'm new to perl ... Here is my problem .. I'm connecting fine to the remote computer and logging in fine .. what I want to do is a get all files from the remote directory . Here is is a snippet of the code $ftp->cwd($remote_dir) or die "cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message;
# show current directory $ftp->pwd(); @all_files = $ftp->ls(); print @all_files; foreach $file(@all_files) { $ftp->get($file) or die "cannot get file", $ftp->message; } The problem is that the remote directory has a subdirectory in it so the array reads it in @all_files = $ftp->ls; so when I go to do a $ftp->get($file) it reads the subdirectory name into it as well so it bombs out saying it cannot find file BLAH BLAH ... is there a way to read the directory without the subdirectory in there .. just the files I want to get . Hope this is clear ..
