man Net::FTPServer::Handle () - A generic Net::FTPServer file or directory handle.

NAME

Net::FTPServer::Handle - A generic Net::FTPServer file or directory handle.

SYNOPSIS

  use Net::FTPServer::Handle;

DESCRIPTION

METHODS

$handle = Net::FTPServer::Handle->new ($ftps);
Create a new handle. You would normally call this from a derived class. Decide if two handles refer to the same thing (file or directory). Return the file or directory status. The fields returned are: 
  $mode     Mode        'd' = directory,
                        'f' = file,
                        and others as with
                        the find(1) -type option.
  $perms    Permissions Permissions in normal octal numeric format.
  $nlink    Link count
  $user     Username    In printable format.
  $group    Group name  In printable format.
  $size     Size        File size in bytes.
  $time     Time        Time (usually mtime) in Unix time_t format.
In derived classes, some of this status information may well be synthesized, since virtual filesystems will often not contain information in a Unix-like format. Return the full path of this file or directory. The path consists of all components separated by / characters. If the object is a directory, then the pathname will have a / character at the end. Return the filename part of the path. If the file is a directory, then this function returns "". Return the directory name part of the path. The directory name always has a trailing / character. Move the current file (or directory) into directory CW$dirh and call it CW$filename. If the operation is successful, return 0, else return -1. Underlying filesystems may impose limitations on moves: for example, it may not be possible to move a directory; it may not be possible to move a file to another directory; it may not be possible to move a file across filesystems. Delete the current file or directory. If the delete command was successful, then return 0, else if there was an error return -1. Different underlying file systems may impose restrictions on this command: for example, it may not be possible to delete directories, or only if they are empty. This is a virtual function which is actually implemented in one of the subclasses.
