FInnally solved this one, or at least found a work around. I think the server I was sending to was choking on the requests coming to quickly. so I did a couple things here.

First I set pipe to not buffer,

$| = 1;

Then I used zipsplit to break up the files into smaller peices, something like this

`/usr/bin/zipsplit -n 30000000 $tmp_file $file`

and then I stuffed the zips into an array and ftp->put each one

foreach $zip (@zip){
$ftp->put($zip);
}

Something along those lines. This took care of the broken pipe error and allowed me to send 130+MB files without any trouble. Hope this helps others that may have come across the same.

Need some help folks, I am using Net::FTP to transmit large zip files, up to 80MB and more, and I often get the cursed "Broken pipe" error back from an IIS server on the other side. I am traversing a 768k frame circuit and a full T1 to get to that box.

$ftp_customer = Net::FTP->new
(
"mis.dev",
Timeout => 180
) or die "Could not connect. \n";
$ftp_customer->login($usr, $pwd) or die "Could not log in \n";
$ftp_customer->binary;
$ftp_customer->cwd("test");
$ftp_customer->put($tmp_file);
$ftp_customer->rename($tmp_file, $zip_file);


Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
