Hi Npreeti,

Basically you copy a file from one machine to another with perl the same ways you would without perl. Perl can be used to automate the process, but doesn't replace any of them. And using perl doesn't change (certainly doesn't reduce!) the needs for security in doing so.

I'd recommend checking the perl modules Net::SCP and Net::SFTP for doing that. Both are built around secure protocols for during the transfer, but be careful to note that you still have to set up a secure means of protecting your passwords or other access credentials (e.g., RSA keys). I wish there were a good, simple, general means of doing that, but everyone's situation is different, so there's just no one-size-fits-all solution.

HTH,
Paul

Oh, regarding how to "past" arguments, I am guessing that you mean "post"? As in how do you read command line arguments in a perl program. Look up @ARGV. Google is your friend here as elsewhere.

As I am very new to perl as well as socket programming.I have one more doubt ,
In socket programming,i am conneting two machines,after establishing connection i have to send a file to remote machine (server),in server i have to check whether the file is received or not?

I am using TCP protocol for this,also for sending a file name send command i am using.also at server script recv command i have used.I dont know whether this is correct or not?
