Re: How to catch Net::FTP timeouts ?

Actually, the perldoc synopsis for Net::FTP says:

    $ftp->get("that.file")
      or die "get failed ", $ftp->message;
[download]

which would solve your problem...

This only works, if the file does not exist, but as soon as the transfer starts, it returns the filename, even if the file is only downloaded partially. You can restart the download with the proper parameters, but you have to find out first. The eval version seems to be the answer to my problem. Thanks again for all help.
