Fetching images from a URL 1

[plotzer]

There are some tif images on a http server on our intranet that I would like to automatically copy to my server at 15 minute intervals. I was wondering what the best way to do this in perl would be. I've looked at a number of modules that grab data from websites, but I keep thinking there must be any easier way. I simply want to get a listing of the images in a certain directory such as:

http://gis1.corp.com/data/

and then copy the latest images from this directory to my server.

I was look at the FILE::COPY module but I cant seem to get it to copy the image. What do you think would be the best way:

Thanks

LWP, the docs are on

If you can get a directory listing wget might be the biscuit

If you have local access File::Copy should cut it, what problems did you run into with that?

Paul,

Totally forgot about using wget. That is exactly what I needed. Thanks
