This made a lot of sense, but I am finding the system() is returning "0"
all the time:
$sys = system("ftp -n $_[0] < ftp_commands.txt");
if successful connecting and performing commands - returns "0"
if login to ftp server fails - still returns "0"
if I put in a bad ip and the connection is refused - still returns "0"
Am I possibly checking this value incorrectly?

You will find that the system call will return an integer depending on
success or failure I believe.
Try somthing like this
if (system("ftp -n $_[0] < ftp_commands.txt") == 0)
You would have to check the return values though.
Hope this helps

Subject: System("ftp
I am using the following subroutine to ftp log files to a central log
server.
my $ftphost = "10.xx.xx.xxx";
my $ftpuser = "weblog";
my $ftppasswd = "weblog";
&ftpzips($ftphost,$ftpuser,$ftppasswd);
sub ftpzips {
open(FTPCOMMANDS, ">ftp_commands.txt");
print FTPCOMMANDS "user $_[1] $_[2]\nbin\nprompt\nmput *.zip\nbye\n";
close(FTPCOMMANDS);
system("ftp -n $_[0] < ftp_commands.txt");
}
This is working well right now, but I need to add in some error checking
and/or retry feature. Problem, I cannot add other packages to these boxes
- I must use built in Perl functions and operators. These are NT4 servers
with ActiveState Perl 5.6.0.
Any thoughts as to how I can get either confirmation that the FTP was
successful or that it failed? Thank you!!
