Yout can use the ls function to get an array of file names in that folder and grep the
names.
Unless you have a unique ftp server on the remote server I know of no standard ftp
commands to grep the contents of files while they are on the other server.
So you can - grep the filename list
- Get the file contents locally and search through their contents
(probably too much trouble)
You might look into Net::Telnet, then you can log on the the server and issue a
grep/grep like command as if you were actually on the command line, ( Well err since
you technically are) and then once said file is found ftp it to your server or do
whatever.
