Bioperl: recursive ftp...

[Tom Tang]

Hi Dawn,

Here is the simplest code to do the task:
------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/local/bin/perl

open (FTP, "|ftp -n MACHINE_NAME");
print FTP "user USER_NAME USER_PASSWD\n";
print FTP "cd DIRECTORY_YOU_WANT\n";
print FTP "get FILE_YOU_WANT\n";
print "bye\n";
close FTP;
----------------------------------------------------------
