I've built myself a script to handle all of my FTP functions, and I'm using the Net::FTP module to handle it all. I've got $ftp = Net::FTP->new("$domain")) to connect to a user-provided domain, but the script always freezes up while storing the file that it's uploaded. It will also drop the size of the file that it's supposed to be overwriting to 0 bytes, before completely stopping. Eventually it times out, and I'm left to go find an FTP client to use. Does anyone know which port I would have to allow things to pass through under my network options that would let this work? I've tried 20 and 21, they both did nothing. Turning the firewall completely off DID work, but I'd rather have SOME security.
