hi again,
actually I do already have a login, just too lazy to login! :-)

OK, the code I have is as follows, but it's just a simple test thing to try and get FTP.pm to work.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::FTP;

my $hostname='216.74.109.245';
my $user='username';
my $password='password';
my $ftp=Net::FTP -> new($hostname) or die ("Connect failed");
$ftp->login($username,$password) or die ("Cant log in");
$ftp->binary;
$ftp->cwd("/public_ftp") or die ("Cant change directory");
$ftp->put("mystuff.txt") or die ("Cant put stuff on server");
$ftp->quit

It produces:
Name "main::username" used only once: possible typo at ./ftp-logs.pl line 9.
Cant log in at ./ftp-logs.pl line 9.

However, I am pretty sure my login information is correct and I can connect via the unix FTP prompt fine.

I'm also slightly concerned whether it's working ok because I had to manually create the Net::Config.pm file by copying it from cpan because it didn't exist in my system originally, but was required by the Net::FTP.pm module.

Hmm i'm confused...
thanks,
Tom
