Check to see if you have Net::FTP properly installed. It consists of the Net/FTP.pm file, as well as Net/FTP/A.pm, E.pm, I.pm, L.pm and dataconn.pm. If you don't have all those (and I suspect not), then reinstall libnet. To find out where your Net::FTP is installed, try: `perldoc -l Net::FTP` (Or look in/near the directory your error message gave ,) C.	[reply] [d/l]

I think you’re missing a single quote in front of your password Probably just in your post, but thought it was worth mentioning. `$ftp->login("bogie", #0tB\@') or die $ftp->message;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
