Sorry for the confusion... let me be more precise.
I have effectively beaten the same limitation that is sited in the original post.
You need to be on a unix/linux workstation running Xwindows, or you need to have
an Xwindows emulator, such as eXceed, running on your Windows/Mac workstation. Then...
Write your Perl script to use Net::Telnet. Log in to the remote machine. Then "su" to root, /usr/bin/su - root
as root have your script start a shell session /usr/bin/sh -display what.every.your.ip
and pass it the "display" parameter. This WILL send the output from the shell to the IP address
that you specify.
Once your shell window opens up on your workstation, you can have your script start ftp. You will be
starting FTP as root. The main diffrence will be that you must put instead of get.
disclamer: this will not work "server-to-server". This will only work, as discribed, if you are
trying to connect from a workstation, running unix/linux, or a workstation running an Xwindows
emulator... but it absolutely does work.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
