For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
FTP using perl

Posted by freebird123 (freebird123), 15 April 2008
Hi ,
I want to count the number of bytes received or sent and seconds it took for downloading/uploading through perl script using Net::FTP module..

please help me with this

Thanks,
regards

First place to start is read the NET::FTP documentation and see if it has any methods that already do that. If not, then you have to start coding something.

#!/usr/bin/perl
$ip="IP_ADDRESS";
use Net::FTP;
$ftpobj = Net::FTP -> new ("$ip",Debug =>0);
$ftpobj -> login("anonymous","anonymous");
$ftpobj -> cwd ("/NETWORK");
$ftpobj->put("ports");
$fileSize = $ftpobj -> size("ports");
$ftpobj -> quit;
print $fileSize;

I have used the above script...But I want to pick up the data from the output of ftp..for ex:

4831 bytes sent in 0.00 seconds (15267.88 Kbytes/s)

I want to pick 4831bytes, 0.00 seconds and the transfer rate using PERL

how do I pick up?IS there any way redirecting the ftp output to text file..if there is please help me with syntax..

Thanks,
Regards,

I suspect that the report you're looking for comes from the FTP client which you have replaced by the FTP module - so there IS no output of the type you want. However, you can check size and elapsed time and from them calculate the rate ... and save whichever of those values to a file if you wish!
