Re: Net :: FTP

in reply to Net :: FTP

To get the files using Net::FTP from remote host, you will have to traverse the remote directory tree yourself. Check the methods in Net::FTP that allow you to list files and directories on remote server, change to that directory and get the file you're looking for.

But i do not know in which directory the file exists. Can you please help me in this case?

Also, as it throws error if I serach in the wrong directory and the execution stops, I cannot try in all the listed directories

Shouldn't be the case. You can always cd to directory and check for return codes of FTP list file command. It will tell you whether file exists or not. It won't terminate your program or your FTP session.
Bottomline, you'll have to cd to each directory and look for the file.

thanks! But is it possible to use something like FTP Recursive to search and return a file, recursively on all sub directories?
