Description: A very barebones, quick and dirty mini-FTP client I built myself (The Perl Cookbook is a wonderful thing indeed!), when the nag screen of my not-so-free FTP client started to annoy me(read: I am a broke,non-pirating student). I haven't quite worked out the error reporting on it yet, but it's VERY useful for synchronizing something on your web server with whatevers in the folder you put ftp.pl in.

If you're not too worried about having your password echoed back to your screen, you can remove the lines that involve Term::ReadKey and any changes in ReadMode.

Enjoy,
Spidy

    Pretty nice little command-line interface; I like that it chmods the files.

    If I were to make a suggestion, it would seem good to modify this so you didn't have to put copies of ftp.pl in each folder (I know technically you don't, you could put the fully qualified file names into the argument array). Maybe make the argument be a folder that syncs up all the files with the domain given?
      Erm...not 100% certain as to what you're saying. Do you mean something like, inputting the path to a folder on YOUR computer, that it synchronizes the files of to the folder on your webserver?
