I have been working on an overly simple script using Net::FTP. All it does is take a file on my local machine, and transfer it using ftp to a remote server.

I got it to login to the ftp server in question, but when I went to use the 'put' command, it failed. I ran the 'supported' command on 'put', and it returned false, so this would imply that 'put' is not supported on the server.

Ever persistent, I went into ftp in my terminal, and connected to the server manually. Lo and Behold, 'put' functions on the remote server when called manually in the terminal!

Is there a way to tell the server, using my Net::FTP code, that I am doing it manually? or otherwise access 'put' in my perl script? Am I going in totally the wrong direction?

TIA
