Hi, I've got a script that logs into an FTP server and I want it to download a file. It logs in ok checks the file is there but when it does the 'get' it dies with the following message " Bad file number". Heres some of the code;

use Net::FTP;

$address ="gamefiles.blueyonder.co.uk";
$hl_path = "/blueyondergames/halflife/patches/win32/";
$ftp = Net::FTP->new($address) or die "Can't connect:$@\n";
$ftp->login() or die "Couldn't login\n";
$ftp->cwd($hl_path) or die "Couldn't change directory to $hl-path: $!\
+n";
@lines_hl = $ftp->dir(".") or die "Can't get a list of files\n";

# lets check if the files are there.
&checkFileExists("HL", @lines_hl);

sub checkFileExists 
{
print "pt = @_[0]\n";

    if (@_[0] == "HL")
    {
        $patch = "11081109.exe";
    } 
    elsif (@_[0] == "CS")
    {
        $patch = "cs1415.exe"; #check this filename
    }
print "patch = $patch\n";
    foreach $file (@_)
    {
        if ($file =~ "$patch") {
            print "hit!\n";
            &downloadfile($patch);
            break;
        }
    }
}        

sub downloadfile
{    
    my $file = "@_[0]";
    chomp($file);
    print "Downloading $file!\n";
    $ftp->binary() or die "Can't change to Binary: $!\n";    #change i
+t to a binary transfer.

    $ftp->get($file) or die "error downloading: $!\n";
    $ftp->quit();
}
[download]

Any ideas why? Thanks Chris
