in reply to Re^2: copying a file
in thread copying a file

You stated that you wanted to copy it to c:\ But you do a: 
$ftp->get("$file","/doytest/cgi-bin/Data/Temp/$fileB");

[download]
which give you an error, that it can't find the local file: 
Cannot open Local file /doytest/cgi-bin/00000001.610: No such file or 
+directory

[download]
So I assume you will have to change the second argument in the get to 
 
$ftp->get("$file","c:/Temp/$fileB");

[download]

    Here is the modified code: 
    use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;

use Net::FTP;
use Sys::Hostname;
my $hostname = hostname();


my $file = '00000001.610';
my $fileB = '00000002.610';
my $host = $hostname;
my $user = '*******';
my $pass = '*******';
my $dir  = '/doytest/cgi-bin/';
my $ftp  = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 1);

$ftp->login($user,$pass);
#$ftp->cwd($dir);

$ftp->get("$file","c:/Temp/$fileB");

$ftp->quit;

    But when I look in my C:/Temp folder on my pc, the file isn't there.

      Maybe look in your c: directory.. I don't know much windows, but aren't the forward slashes supposed to be backslashes in windows ?? (I probably got it wrong in my reply ;-) )
      So there might be a file in c: with the name /Temp/0000001.610
      Check that first... or try with the slashes the other way around...
