Hello Everyone;
I am no doubt a beginner, I have tried many methods of FTP and still no success. The result: the file name(450k-.txt)is created on Windows FTP Server but no data in the file(contents) is transferred. Any one have a creative idea ??? Need help as my job relies on this... thanks

use strict;
use Net::FTP;
my $destserv="ftp.somewhere.com";
my $user="user";
my $password="password";
my $dir = "/my/directory";
my $file_to_put = "ftptest2.txt";

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($destserv) or die "Can't Open $destserv\n";

$ftp->login($user,$password);
$ftp->cwd($dir) or die "Can't cwd to $dir\n";
$ftp->ascii();
$ftp->pasv();
$ftp->put($file_to_put) or die  "Unsuccessful transfer:$@\n";
$ftp->quit();
