version I used.

Actually two things would be best
1) use rsync to send to the remote server.
2) I think you said it was bigpond so rsync won't work, try a package
called 'mirror'. It's generally used for sucking down sites but can go the
other way as well. It'll handle your directory structure without too much
effort on your part. It's also just a perl script so fix it if it doesen't
quite fit what you want.

Unfortunately not. I have included a perl script that I wrote last week when suddenly
my shell access was turned off by my web provider. This does not create any
directories but its easy to add to this script if needed. It uses ftp rather than
having to worry about Net::ftp in Perl. Was a quick 20 min hack.
Note that you can use a .netrc file but it probably safer not to. If it is not there
the ftp will just ask for the passwd.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $localDir= "/home/mikel/public_html/speleonics/";
my $remoteDir = "/home/mikel/public_html/";
my $i;
my @changedFiles;
my $ftpuploadFile = "/tmp/ftpupload.myisp";
print "\n";
print "\n";
print "*** FTP upload to My ISP ***\n";
print "\n\n";
print "FTP transfer uses file .netrc to connect to ISP.\n";
print "Local directory to upload files FROM will be: $localDir\n";
print "Remote directory to upload files TO will be: $remoteDir\n";
@changedFiles = `find $localDir -type f -mtime -7`;
# Write the ftp script
open(FILE, ">$ftpuploadFile") || die "Can't open file: $!";
print FILE "open tazieff\n";
print FILE "prompt\n";
print FILE "lcd $localDir\n";
print FILE "cd $remoteDir\n";
print "\nAdding files to ftp script to upload...\n";
foreach $i (@changedFiles)
{
$i =~ s/$localDir//;
print "file: $i";
print FILE "put $i";
}
print FILE "close\n";
print FILE "bye\n";
close (FILE);
print "\nRunning ftp upload now... (watch for errors below here)\n";
print `ftp < $ftpuploadFile`;
print "\nRemember to delete the file $ftpuploadFile when finished.\n";

RE: [SLUG] ftp client - MORE
What I am actually trying to do is to backup file from my site to an FTP
server.
The problem is, that they are allowed to create sub-directories and of
course new files.
So I don't know what files I have to ftp.
I have tried using WEEX, but it does not seem to be able to create new
directories on the FTP server.

Just use the full pathname and get a script to generate the list for you, eg
'find'.
But you need to know if the directory exists on the remote site.
Anyone know, assuming a shell is not available to the remote host, can you
test for the existance of a directory on an ftp site in order to make a
decision as to whether to make a directory or not?
Something like if [ -d ] dirname ; then do something ; fi
but using ftp as the only available protocol?
(Actually come to think of it you could possibly use http to first test for
this directory's existence if the ultimate aim was to update your website).

Jill.
