It's unlikely that Net::FTP is the actual culprit. Can you FTP the files successfully using, say, a command-line client?

Nonetheless, a couple of things that may be worth trying: See if reducing the block size helps: $ftp_customer = Net::FTP->new(..., BlockSize => 1024);This will likely make things slower too, but may be able to keep from choking the receiving server (if indeed that's the problem).

You may also want to try breaking up the files into chunks and transmitting them individually. Try it with just one file and a command-line or GUI FTP client first before investing time writing it into your program.
