Perl: How to sync files with ftp server

Question

I'm looking for a way to sync a local folder with a remote folder that is only accessible with FTP.

Is this possible in Perl or is it possible by calling a System-command in Perl ?

I'm in a Windows 2008 environment so no Linux applications possible

You could roll your own using Net::FTP but helping you with that would require code from you.

You could compile sitecopy using Cygwin. It works.

But, I would first go ask at ServerFault before committing to either course of action.

A very powerful cross-platform application wget might help you.

If you are on a *nix system I suggest RSYNC. But as you require a Windows solution try DeltaCopy.

In technical terms, DeltaCopy is a "Windows Friendly" wrapper around the Rsync program, currently maintained by Wayne Davison. "rsync" is primarily designed for Unix/Linux/BSD systems. Although ports are available for Windows, they typically require downloading Cygwin libraries and manual configuration. — What is DeltaCopy
