use Net::Lite::FTP; my $tlsftp=Net::Lite::FTP->new(); $tlsftp->open("ftp.tls.pl","21"); $tlsftp->user("user"); $tlsftp->pass("password"); $tlsftp->cwd("sth"); my $files=$tlsftp->list("nok*"); foreach $f (@$files) { print "Getting file: $f\n"; $tlsftp->get($f); };

This assumes FTP servers support wildcards, when there were exploits for wildcards in the wild, some FTP servers would turn off this feature, thus, you would like to list all the files and then grep it on client side - this might require some memory if the list is large. (if you know that full list is too big to fit in memory, but your wildcarded list fits fine, you can try grepp-ing the list on-line).

If the list is really huge, and even your smaller list wouldn't fit in memory, you would need two FTP connections - one for list, and the other for files.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
