My problem is simple im sure, the thing is that i cant see it :o)

I have a script that takes 5 arguments:
"filelist hostlist username password directory"

It starts a ftp session to the first node in the hostlist and transfers all the files from the filelist.

This works fine as long as i only have one node in the nodelist.. if i have more it just goes:

$ ./ftpbackup.pl filelist.txt hostlist.txt <username> <password> /remote/directory
Connecting to host1.com
Getting file1
Getting file2
Connecting to host2.com

And nothing more one reson can be that i just started learning perl last week.. ;o)

Thanks!
