Build a Primary Menu to interface with 2

ljsmith91 · Aug 14, 2006

I need to create a panel or menu interface for ftp for our systems. Any suggestions on whether there is a mod that could help with this ? The primary menu would have multiple options for the user to input or take the deafults on. This is a draft of a possible primary menu:

-------------- Primary Menu --------------------

FTP Command [Put/ Get]: ___

FTP Transfer [ASC/ Bin]: ___

Remote Systems: __ System A __System B __ SystemC
__ System D __ All Above Systems

Remote ID : __________

Remote PW : __________

File Name : ________________________________________

Remote Location: ___________________________________

----------------End Primary Menu ------------------------

This menu may have additional options. I need a means of pulling all of this information and was hoping I could do it on 1 menu rather than prompting the user for each option. Is there an easy means for doing this?

Thanks for any help.

i don't think perl is the thing for you... try other languages such as javascript, etc.

--------------------------
The best answer to your question will definitely be RTFM.

You could use Perl Tk.

have a look at it

why are you not using an existing FTP program?

Thanks...I am attempting to do this with Perl Tk... just having a problem with how to place my widgets. A bit tricky to say the least.

For placing widgets, check out Tk::grid

Hi ljsmith91

Something ripped from the net, a Perl Tk program. It works ok, may be more enhancements could be added. There are many programs for FTP created using perl/Tk. As well there are free programs that you could use.

Here we go

Code:

use Tk;
use Tk::DropSite;
use Net::FTP;
use File::Basename;
use strict;
use warnings;

require Tk::HList;
require Tk::Dialog;

my ($ftp, $start_dir, %files);
my ($login, $server, $username, $password, $anon, $anonymous);

my %connections =('rork' => 'rork', 'rork.nl'=> 'rork.nl');
		

my $top=MainWindow->new(-title=>'FTP');
my $menubar=$top->Frame()->grid(-row=> 1, -column=> 1, -columnspan=> 2, -sticky=> 'w');
my $mb_file=$menubar->Menubutton(-text=> 'File', -tearoff=> 0)->pack(-side=>'left');
   $mb_file->command(-label=> 'Log in', -command=> \&build_login);
   $mb_file->separator();
   $mb_file->command(-label=> 'Exit', -command=> \&leave);

my $toolbar=$top->Frame()->grid(-row=>2, -column=>1, -sticky=> 'w', -columnspan=> 2);
my $upload=$toolbar->Button(-text=> 'Upload', -command=> \&upload, -state=> 'disabled')->pack(-side=> 'left');
my $download=$toolbar->Button(-text=> 'Download', -command=> \&download, -state=> 'disabled')->pack(-side=> 'left');
my $mkdir=$toolbar->Button(-text=> 'MkDir', -command=> \&mkdir, -state=> 'disabled')->pack(-side=>'left');
my $rename=$toolbar->Button(-text=> 'Rename', -command=> \&rename, -state=> 'disabled')->pack(-side=>'left');
my $delete=$toolbar->Button(-text=> 'Delete', -command=> \&delete, -state=> 'disabled')->pack(-side=> 'left');

dmazzi,

This looks good. Thanks so much. Where on the net did you get this ? I searched high and low and couldn't find. Anyway, I am taking advantage of this help. Much thanks.

dmazzini, I copied the code into a script, uploaded it and tried to run it and the browser just hangs? should this code work on a webserver as is?
