I am writing a script that uses Net::FTP to grab a file from a Win32 client. Everything works up to the point where it transfers the file. I tried the same script on a linux client and it worked. I'm not sure what the problem is. I am posting the ftp section of the script and the debug output. 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $host = "192.168.10.155";
my $file_name  = "/home/testuser/filestore/WWWMSEXP.TXT";
my $dir = "mail";
my $getname ="WWWMSEXP.TXT";
my $username = "testuser";
my $password = "secret";

use Net::FTP;

$ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Timeout =>40, Debug =>1) or die "can't con
+nect to host";

$ftp->login($username,$password) or die "can't log in to host";

$ftp->cwd($dir) or die "can't change directory";

$ftp->ascii();

$ftp->get($getname,$file_name) or die "can't get file";

$ftp->quit();

The debug:

The file IS there and I can manually ftp to this client and get it.

Somebody hit me with a clue stick!

Thanks
