I have a question about connecting to one of two different FTP
servers. This is a libnet question that I know if off topic, but PLEASE
help me. I have a MySQL database running and I use Perl/DBI to populate the
database. I am using libnet to FTP the data to the server, and then post
data from the local server. I know that I could post data from the remote
machines with DBI, but I feel that limiting the account that posts to the
database to the local system provides a bit of security. Anyway, a group of
my systems are on the other side of a firewall that does not allow FTP
traffic. I am trying to figure out a way to somehow test the FTP
connection, and if the connection is unsuccessful then I want to FTP to a
different server instead. I have been handling this by having a different
version of the script that simply transfers to the alternate, but I don't
want to have to maintain two different scripts.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, and sorry for
posting off topic.
