Re^2: Net:FTP Not overwrite files

[alexm]

Net-FTP-File has also the exists() method, which would be more appropiate because if the filename exists and is actually a directory the file put through FTP would be created under that directory, which doesn't seem to be the OP's desired behaviour.

Hi i developed a very simples way to accomplish that it is so simple and work with the old Net::FTP


$ftp->put("$file") unless $ftp->rename("$file","$file");

well gonna put file only if it doens't exits otherwise it will rename it with the same actual name! it is genious regards Claudio

that's a good idea, but mdtm() or size() can be better. because rename() changes its property. mdtm() and size() changes nothing.
