So you think I would have to have the subroutine in it's own script and just run it in the background? My main script has other functions but I can try to run this again calling the ftp portion &.
Do I even want to use threads in this then? I was just calling my subroutine `&ftp_go_and_get $ARG1 $ARG2 $ARG3 $ARG4` before but that did not give me the desired results either.
I have started to look at fork() this but have never myself done it.
As for bandwidth the total of all the files is under 40k and it is not really an issue for this.
