Hi,
I am trying to write a backup tool with Perl and Net::FTP module.
I have one central Windows XP Professional server with large disk space and have several Windows NT machines.
I would like to ftp each NT machine and get 4 or 5 files to the XP server.

my sample code is below...
my problem is timeout...it is starting to get files but so many times I am getting below error message;

"Timeout at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/Net/FTP.pm line 503"

and after that ftp session disconnect.

I increased the Timeout value but nothing is changed.
Do you have any idea ? What is wrong ?
Could you please help me to solve this issue...

Thank you very much for your valuable help...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::FTP;
use Net::Telnet ();

sub ftpnd
{
my $host = $_[0]; my $Fusername = "XXXXX"; 
my $Fpasswd = "yyyyyy";

my $ftpobj = Net::FTP -> new ($host, Debug => 0, Timeout => 240) or di
+e "Cannot connect $@";

$ftpobj -> login($Fusername,$Fpasswd) or die "Cannot Login ",$ftpobj->
+message; ;

$ftpobj -> cwd ("ftpvol/relfsw2");
$ftpobj -> binary;

my @Flist = $ftpobj->ls("*");

foreach my $file (@Flist)
           {
             $ftpobj->get($file) or die "can't get file: $!";
           }

$ftpobj -> quit;
return;
}

ftpnd("10.202.14.130");

}
