IMHO, you're better off writing the whole thing in pure perl by either using Net::FTP or Win32::Internet - both provide 'list' methods, so you can first query a list of all available filenames from the remote directory and than invoke the 'get' method on every file which meets your conditions (using the appropriate regexp) HTH till _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/perl-win32-users
