Dear Simon,

It's great. I'll add the sql dump below. I found a little typo in line 154 of

package Project::Net::FTP::DirHandle;

$sql = "select ID, name from directories
should be:
$sql = "select ID, name from DIRECTORIES
because MySQL is case sensitive in it's column names.

To use the sql dump below do as follows:
1. mysql -p -uroot -e "create database ftpdb"
2. mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all privileges on ftpdb.* to rich@localhost identified by '123456'"
3. mysql -p -uroot -e "flush privileges"
4. save the text below from "--MySQL dump 9.10" to the bottom as example.sql
5. mysql -v -p123456 -urich ftpdb < example.sql
6. change line 40-43 in package Project::Net::FTP::Server; from:

my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:mysql(RaiseError=>1,AutoCommit=>1):dbname=TEST",
"username", "password")
or die "cannot connect to database: ftp: $!";

into:

my $dbh = DBI->connect ("dbi:mysql(RaiseError=>1,AutoCommit=>1):dbname=ftpdb",
"rich", "123456")
or die "cannot connect to database: ftp: $!";

Kind regards,
Arjan Widlak
