If you want it to run from your server then I think you'll have to
have some kind of mini-server on your local machine for your Ubuntu
box to contact. That could be something standard such as ssh, which
would let your server log in and scp files. Or perhaps FTP, and you
could script it with Net::FTP. If you really want to do it all
yourself you could write a server and client with DRb. That would be
interesting! Of course you'd have to figure out the security
implications of all this.
