Hello... : ) I need to gather a single filename on hundreds of servers ranging in *UX flavors from AIX, HP, Solaris, RH Linux and Tru64 then store them on on HPUX server.
I was initially thinking an scp command like so foreach my $server in (@servers) scp /etc/passwd /tmp/passwd.$SERVER but not all clients have ssh running and other nuances such as no root ssh sign-in, no ftp, and /etc/passwd is protected from downloads and reads by anyone but root. I then looked at Net::EasyTCP for a socket download. As I read the CPAN info and after reading "Constructs and returns a new Net::EasyTCP object. Such an object behaves in one of two modes (that needs to be supplied to new() on creation time). You can create either a server object (which accepts connections from several clients) or a client object (which initiates a connection to a server)." For this to happen do I need to create server and client or just client? What do you recommend? server A would be "server" which houses gathered files server B would be "client" which is where unique passwd files live. thank you derek -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
