Thanks, I tried that and it formatted the path for me nicely so I know what the proper format should be... I think.

I just posted a reply to the other monk on the thread who suggested that I may not be using Net::FTP as intended. Which makes me wonder if I am using File::Spec as intended... I ran the script as followed from a script on my linux host:

use File::Spec;
my $file_path=File::Spec->catfile('E:','test','picture.jpg');
print "File Path $file_path\n";
[download]

It gave me the result File Path E:/test/picture.jpg which is good. But is that result the correct result for my home Win98 PC or is it actually the result for my linux host?
