I was trying to put it into a different directory then where the script is running from, so I had tried opening a directory. Didn't work. So, I put in my $filepath = $directory . "/" . $file; and it copied it to the correct directory. I'd thought mirror was for a whole passel of files, and it works well for one. Thanks, again, Randal & everyone else who helped. --------------------- Lara J.
