Question

how can I upload an entire folder to the ftp server?
I’m trying to do the following:

$FTP->binary();
$FTP->mkdir($pfolder);
$FTP->put("$pPath$pfolder");

Of course I did before authentication .. just that when I run the code, the following message appears

Cannot open Local file C:\xampp\htdocs\MyProject: Permission denied
at projectUpload.pl line 41

— EDIT —

I found solution, here is the code:

  sub upload {
          my ( $bpath , $path , $FTP ) = @_;
          $path .= '/' unless $path =~ /\/$/;
          for my $i ( glob ( "$path*" ) ) {
                 $i =~ /(?:\/(.*))/;
                 if ( not -d $i ) {
                        if ( -f $i ) {
                               $FTP->put ( $i , $1 ) ;
                        }      
                 } else {
                        $FTP->mkdir ( $1 ) ;
                        upload ( $bpath , $i , $FTP ) if -d $i ;
                 }
          }
   }

• If you are using the standard Net::FTP module, you must upload one file at a time. There
  are other modules, however, that allow you to upload/mirror entire directory trees.

• You probably want to go the directory you created before uploading your files. A $FTP->cwd($pfolder); should do the trick.

• The “Permission denied” issue is probably because MyProject is a directory (I guess). Locally, do a chdir() to that directory, open it with opendir(), then iterate over the files with readdir() and upload one file at a time.
