Obtaining file data

[Brian Brown]

Hello,

I am trying to get the specs for files in a remote directory. I need to be
able to get the name of the file, file size and the date the file was
updated.Then put it all in a text file that can be emailed.

Does anyone know where I can go to get an example of how to do this. I am
working on a Win 2000 box.

Thanks for any help that you can provide.

First question, over what protocol?

Perldoc -f stat

You can use paths like this in perl
\\remoteserver\c\path
Don't forget to escape the \\ in double quote context.
\\\\remoteserver\\c\\path
