Do you know why Net::FTP does not support nmap?

Is ther any other package that supports nmap ftp command for filename mapping.

Thanks.

I'm not sure what are you referring to, is there actually "nmap"
command in ftp RFC?

No, but there is one listed in the man page for the command-line FTP client
that I have:

nmap [inpattern outpattern]
Set or unset the filename mapping mechanism. If no arguments
are specified, the filename mapping mechanism is unset. If
arguments are specified, remote filenames are mapped during
mput commands and put commands issued without a specified
remote target filename.

It sounds like it could be a handy feature for the Net::FTP module to have.

Heh... I just noticed, the OP said "ftp command", not "FTP command". That
is, he's talking about a client, not the protocol. Case-sensitivity - it's
not just for PERL any more!

You are spot on. Not sure why Graham Barr decided not to provide this
in Net::FTP.

Why would you need it since s/// can do the same thing?

true, although I'm not sure if OP intentionally wrote with small caps.
