ftp w/o using Net::FTP

[James P Donnelly]

I am trying automate some processes and ftp is not allowed to 
contact servers outside my intranet (socks).
I am only trying to login into a server, travese to the correct directory, dump
a file and quit.  I have hacked together something that gets me to the server and
then it seems to hang at the login..   Has anyone written something like 
this w/o use of the module?  Any insight would be very helpful

Thanks -- Jim
$cmd = 'rftp';
$rftp_commands =
               "open
                $fHost
                $user
                $pass
                quit
";
 open(CMD,"|$cmd");
 print CMD $rftp_commands;
 close(CMD);
