Re: NET::FTP truncates files

I'm not sure if Net:FTP automatically checks, but maybe it's sending the file in ASCII/text mode instead of binary? To do this you would just send a $ftp->binary(); command. This sounds like the problem, since a text transfer will end when you get an EOF character - of which a PDF can't guarantee /won't/ show up before the end of the file.

I have tried this `$ftp->login('anonymous','submit@somesrvr.that.exists.edu'); $ftp->binary(); $ftp->put("$prefix"."$f2"); $ftp->quit;` [download] with the same result.. Rogan Creswick ( didn't have an account earlier )	[reply] [d/l]
