I'm trying to get a simple file download script working using Net::FTP. Here's my script: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::FTP;
my $host ='192.168.0.110';
my $user ='root';
my $pw   ='xxxxxx';

my $file ='hello.pl';
my $path ='/home/admin/temp';

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 1) 
    or die "Could not connect to '$host': $@";
$ftp->login($user, $pw) 
    or die print "Could not login1: %s", $ftp->message;    
$ftp->cwd($path) 
    or die print "Could not change directory to %spath", $ftp->message
+;

$ftp->get("hello.pl") 
    or die print "Could not get $file from $path ", $ftp->message;
    
print "End";

[download]
The script seems to run and in fact I can successfully modify it to make and remove directories on the server. What I can't do is get it to download from the server to a local file. Server permissions are set properly, the file exists and the local directory exists. What I get is this error line, and it never gets to the terminating print line.: "Could not get hello.pl from /home/admin/temp Transfer complete. No transfer to ABOR." Can someone point me in the right direction? Joe
