I'm trying to do transfer some files via Net::Ftp but I'm having problems with the symbolic links. The main problems resides in the $ftp->cwd(), looks like the $ftp doesn't see the symbolic links in he directory. If I use $ftp->ls(), it will only give me directories whereas when using $ftp->dir(), all of the contents of the directory (dirs and symlinks will be shown). The ide is to check if there is a symlink and when that happens follow the link and start the transfer or if its a directory simply change to that directory and transfer, here's the code I'm using when doing the transfer:

$ftp = Net::FTP::Recursive->new($config{'host'}, isSymlink => 1, Debug
+ => 1); 
$ftp->login( $config{'user'}, $config{'pass'});
$ftp->cwd( $config{'trgt'});
my @listClients = $ftp->dir();
foreach $x (@listClients){
if (-l $x){
        print "Inside link test ".$x."\n";
        if (defined($clientLink = readlink($ftp->pwd()."/".$x))) {
                print "\t\t".$clientLink."\n";
                $ftp-> cwd( $clientLink );
                print $ftp->pwd();
        }
} else {
        $ftp->cwd( $client );
        }
}
$ftp->binary();
$ftp->rput();
$ftp->quit;
