I don't know how to convert spaces in file names on the server, but what about using the dir method? You will get a long listing format like "ls -l" does. Then parse the file names by an appropriate RE. an example: ----------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl -w # file: ftp_test.pl # use strict; use Net::FTP; my ($ftp, $i); my @listing = (); $ftp = Net::FTP->new("localhost", Debug => 0); $ftp->login("anonymous",'-anonymous@'); $ftp->cwd("/pub/testdir"); @listing = $ftp->dir; foreach $i (@listing) { if ( $i =~ s/.*(:[0-9]{2} )(.*)/$2/ ) { print "$i\n"; } } $ftp->quit; ----------------------------------------- My local server ist ProFTP on Linux, maybe other servers generate other dir listings. cu christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
