Bioperl: recursive ftp...

[Steve Roels]

Dawn,

If you envision doing this a lot and/or want to update the files at some interval if and
only if they have changed, you may want to look at 'mirror'.

http://sunsite.org.uk/packages/mirror/

You set up a simple config file that specifies host, directory, recursive behavior, regexp
for matching the files you want, etc.

And mirror does the rest, updating those files that have changed, and optionally deleting
those that have been removed.
