Fair enough. So either read all the files into an array before you start your FTP transaction or use a recursive method from Net:FTP but the latter doesn't exist within the module or the protocol as far as I know. http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/libnet-1.22/Net/FTP.pm I am not going to be able to test this from where I am writing so this is just a guide. my $folder_to_mirror_my_machine = "99"; opendir(DIR, $folder_to_mirror_my_machine) or die "Can't read $folder_to_mirror_my_machine: $!\n"; my @files_to_upload = grep{! /\./ && -f "$folder_to_mirror_my_machine/$_" } readdir(DIR); $ftp=Net::FTP->new($host); $ftp->login($user,$pw) or die "could not login"; $ftp->cwd($dir); # You may choose to make the local dir at this point # $ftp->mkdir($folder_to_mirror_my_machine); $ftp->ascii; foreach my $file (@files_to_upload) { $ftp->put($file); } ... ... ... You nearly had in. I think you assumed that you could copy a directory and it's files in one hit but that not possible with Net::FTP Goodluck.
