I wrote an FTP client that transfers files from a Win2K box to an AIX box. I need to 'ASCII' mode to get rid of the CRLF right? how do I do that, what is the syntax.

Here is the portion of the code that does the FTP

$ftp = Net::FTP->new("$Server",Debug => 0);
$ftp->login("mqm","$Pwd",) || die "LOGIN FAILED";
$ftp->ascii;
$ftp->cwd("/var/mqm/mqsc/stage")|| die "CAN'T CHANGE DIR";
$ftp->put("C:\\Jobs\\staging\\$File")|| die "PUT FAILED";
$ftp->quit;

...but that doesn't seem to work. I have searched CPAN and other internet sources and not found any help, in one site it mentioned this as a "Known Bug".

Also I was wondering if it is possible to chmod the file using this FTP module?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

John
