You can run a perl ftp script (see Net::ftp) or you can zip and
upload via a web page. The ftp could be anonymous or password
protected. Ther latter (http file upload) has no security implication.
Both are easy to accomplish.
With the ftp, you can do 'mput' but with http, to transfer a number
of files, I would zip (or gzip) them.
For the file upload approach see CGI.pm
You would need an <INPUT type='file' > and the form should be
defined as <FORM METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-
data" NAME="upload">
I have used CGI.pm to accomplish this...
