Connecting/Parsing Files On A Unix Machine - NEWBIE
Hi All, I was hoping that someone could send me in the right direction as to the resources that I need to complete this task - I REALLY REALLY APPRECITATE YOUR HELP!!! I ahave been reading away at Programming Perl/Perl Cookbook to no avail. I have a script which will be launched from a Win32 Machine - the problem is that I have to connect to a Unix box which contains a directory of different files which I have to process. I am unable to work out how to connect to the Unix box and parse the directory - can anyone advise on the way to go??? I have been reading up on IO::Socket - I think that this is what I should be doing? Again, I really appreciate your input..

Net::FTP is probably what you want. Or depending on what you want to do with the files Net::Telnet might be useful. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Trevor J.

I am unable to work out how to connect to the Unix box and parse the directory - can anyone advise on the way to go??? Either you a) run something on the Unix box, or you b) fetch the files and process them on the Windows box. I'd try to get it to work using a) if possible, but b) is good too if the file transfer isn't a problem wrt size and speed. So, how to fetch the files? FTP is one option (existing protocols are good, don't invent your own). (If you need a secure connection take a look at SCP). In Perl that means Net::FTP which is included in the libnet module. This is how to use it: http://search.cpan.org/author/GBARR/libnet-1.12/Net/FTP.pm This is how to install it: C:\ ppm install libnet should work if it's not already included in the ActiveState distribution. /J -- --- -- -- -- -- - - - Johan LindströmSourcerer @ Boss Casinos [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest bookmark: Ramdisk - CENATEK http://www.cenatek.com/product_ramdisk.cfm dmoz (1 of 3): /Computers/Hardware/Storage/Hard_Drives/ 56 ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
