Hi,

This might sound like a stupid question, but I am hoping that before running the script you tried ftp'ing to the host and that worked right. Here's more info on a similar problem - Net::FTP cannot connect in Windows 2003. Which version of Perl are you using? On which flavour of Windows?

For a more informative error, add $^E after the $! statement in die (this is given in the node mentioned above)
