Hi monks, I need help on this. I have read the documentation of Net::FTP, it says for put() " NOTE: If for some reason the transfer does not complete and an error is returned then the contents that had been transferred will not be remove automatically. " What is the error returned? And how can I check it in the code? I currently call put() in a loop with retries, here is a part of the code: 
my $ftp_obj = get_ftp_obj();
my $put_try = 0;
my $cflag = 0;
my $MAX_RETRIES = 5;
while ($put_try < $MAX_RETRIES) {
        my $ret;
    $ret = $ftp_obj->put("$file_name") if ($put_try == 0);
    $ret = $ftp_obj->append("$file_name") if ($put_try > 0);
    last if (!$ret);  # is this correct????
    $put_try++;
    print "Retrying to append $file_name, $put_try\n";
    if ($put_try == $MAX_RETRIES) {
         die "Not able to copy $file_name\n";
    }
}

Am i checking the return value of the put()/append() properly?
Thanks in advance
