Accessing an FTP site

[PJYelton]

Relative beginner to Perl and had a quick question about how I can get my script to access an FTP site.

Say I have an ftp site called "ftp://srvftp.ggg.com/cas" with username "BOB" and password "password", how could I access this folder and copy all files to a directory of my choosing on my computer? Also, vice versa, how would I place files on my computer into this ftp folder?

Any sample code or a link to a tutorial would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Checkout the Net::FTP module.

Yes, look into Net::FTP it's a core module so it should already be installed with your current perl installation. Pretty easy to use too.
