Hi, I have a perl script which uses Net::FTP to put a file on a remote server. This script is installed on both a Windows box (Net::FTP v2.65) and a Linux box(Net::FTP v2.75). A problem occurs when the script on the Linux box tries to put a file on a IIS Server on a Win2K box. The login, mkdir and cwd commands work fine but the put command times-out and a zero-length file is present on the remote server. The script on the Windows box runs fine and places the file on the server correctly. The admin guy from the IIS server says that the problem is that the Linux script is not using the correct data port(20) while the Windows script is. I do not specify any data port, only the standard ftp port(21) in my scripts and am at a loss as to why this is happening. Any ideas?? rgds, Conor.
