I'm trying to automatically upload a data file to my server, from my clients, every 5 seconds
I tried net::ftp code, but it never makes it past the stor command.

My code is here:
$ftpobj = Net::FTP -> new ("server.com",Debug =>1,Timeout=>60);
$ftpobj -> login("user","pass");
$ftpobj -> binary;
$ftpobj -> cwd ("/Users/a/code/perl/ftptest");
$ftpobj -> delete ("/Users/a/code/perl/ftptest/testfile.txt");
$ftpobj -> put ("/Users/a/code/perl/testfile.txt","/Users/a/code/perl/
+ftptest/testfile.txt");
$ftpobj -> quit;
print "file size ",-s "testfile.txt"," bytes\n";

When I use console ftp to send the file to the same server, it uploads inside of a second or two. Using the net::ftp lib, it's timing out. I must be doing something wrong as it's only 23 bytes. The Debug message is below:
