in thread Net::FTP Woes

This works fine with my ftp servers. Setting the Degug level to 1 should tell you the problem (probably a login failure given your output). You can add or die "Blah" to all of your ftp method calls as they return true if they succeed and false if they fail BTW: 

use Net::FTP;

my $host = 'yoursite.com';
my $u = 'user';
my $p = 'pass';

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 1) or die "No FTP for you!\n\n
+";

$ftp->login($u, $p) or die "Login failed user:$u pass:$p\n";
$ftp->binary;

print "The CWD is: ", $ftp->pwd(), "\n\n";
print "The contents of the dir:\n", join("\n", $ftp->dir()), "\n";

    The new code incorporates the switchable debug level (set to 5) and running it again produced the following:

    I firmly believe you when you say it works with your FTP server -- it should work.

    I set the timeout to 500 seconds, and it still timed out -- so I'm thinking the problem is something related to my installation of Net::FTP. I'm going to attempt reinstall and try to answer some of the questions differently -- any suggestions on which to answer, which way to answer them, or am I headed off in the wrong direction altogether?

    UPDATE

    I just did a reinstall on Net::FTP, and that has apparently been the whole problem. Thanks to all three of you for the patience you've shown with me -- FTP is something I'm a stranger to, but not quite so much any more. :)
