Bioperl: recursive ftp...

[Keith Allen]

What you're looking for is the Net::FTP module from CPAN.  If you
look in the pod you'll find that the author has provided a nice
little synopsis that does exactly what you describe (although its
not recursive, but if you need a recursive approach this is still the
module to use).

use Net::FTP;

$ftp = Net::FTP->new("ncbi.nlm.nih.gov");
$ftp->login("ftp", "allen\@deltagen.com");
$ftp->cwd("blast/db");
$ftp->get("ecoli.aa.Z");
$ftp->quit;


Hopoe that helps
