Hi Todd Chester,

a lot of stuff in Net::FTP does not work correctly

As soonix told you here last week, a lot depends on the FTP server, and sometimes they simply don't support certain things. One way to approach the problem might be to compare a different FTP client to Net::FTP. If the operation does work from a different client, you could use Wireshark to trace the connection and compare what the two clients are doing differently (unless you're using encrypted connections?).

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

Considering that you've apparently been doing battle with FTP for at least a week now, two thoughts: First, I know the following suggestion may be frustrating, but sometimes it's necessary to consider. Second: Perhaps you might want to take a step back. In this post, you seem to indicate that you have shell access to the server machine. Why are you using FTP? Have you considered using SSH and SFTP instead? Also, taking a step back can mean to take a couple of hours to just read all the available documentation: the server*, the protocol (perhaps even including the RFCs), and the client.

* I saw which server you're using in one of your other posts from last week. It would be best to mention this in each of your posts, since it took me a while to find this information.

Regards,
