[gentoo-user] looking for a ftp client script

Hi guys,

I need to exchange some files between a AIX developer server and my gentoo
desktop, actually it is not a gentoo request :-). There is no ftp client
tool or file server setup on that AIX server, and I don't have enough power
to install any binary tool. So, I think it is possible to use script on AIX,
then it will get/put files from/to my gentoo's ftp server. Can anyone
recommend such a script? Perl based script is prefered,

Thanks,
Weifeng

I don't know of any script for this, but if you have shell access over
SSH you can check out SSHFS over FUSE

Thanks Morten, but that AIX server only provides telnet access. :(

Sorry, that was the wrong link. I meant:

No FTP, but telnet?

If I were you I woud refuse to work with such a setup.

You should try working with ancient cisco kit sometime...

Or ancient decrepit name servers running Solaris that we've been trying to 
decomm for 7 years (client just will not update their delegations upstream).

"refuse" is tempting but just not an option sometimes
