Your question is not easy to understand.

You have a perl script on your computer and it is FTPing to another computer and you want to send the file to a third computer? I don't think you can do that. FTP is bidirectional, from computer A to computer B. You can't direct the file transfer to computer C, at least not that I know of.

I have to whole heartedly agree with Kevin. What you are trying to do is not possible, directly. Instead, you will have to use your PC as the "go-between". In other words, you will have to download the file from its present host to your machine, then do another FTP and put the file to its destination PC. Direct transfer between those other two machines would only work if your script was sitting on one of them, and running there.

Jeff

I suggest that you read up on the basic FTP commands.

You are connected to the other machine using FTP and are using the"get" method to retrieve the file. Before you issue the get, you would have to issue the "lcd" command to change the directory on your local machine.

Yes, as Jeff suggests, read the manual or documentation for the module you are using (Net::FTP?) It will show you the available commands like cd and other related information.
