boat73: You might then try the `rhelp` and or `rstatus` commands to get a list of the commands that your FTP server supports and look for clues. On our mainframe, for example: ftp> rhelp 214-The server-FTP commands are: 214-ABOR,ACCT,ALLO, APPE, CDUP, CWD, DELE, FEAT, HELP, LANG, LIST, +MDTM, MKD 214-MODE, NLST, NOOP, OPTS, PASS, PASV, PORT, PWD, QUIT, REIN, REST, +RETR, RMD 214-RNFR, RNTO, SITE, SIZE, SMNT, SYST, STAT, STOR, STOU, STRU, TYPE, + USER 214-ADAT, AUTH, CCC, PBSZ, PROT, EPSV, EPRT 214-The commands preceded by '' are not implemented 214-The data representation type may be ASCII, EBCDIC or IMAGE, or may + be 214-one of the following Double Byte Character Sets: * SNIP * 214-For information about a particular command, type 214 HELP SERVER command or QUOTE HELP command [download] Looking at the list of commands available, I dig through a few until I find: `ftp> rhelp type 214-TYPE {representation-type} {format}: the default type is ASCII. 214-The implemented data types are ASCII(TYPE A <N>), EBCDIC (TYPE E < +N>), 214-IMAGE (TYPE I), DBCS (TYPE B <options>), and UNICODE (TYPE U 2 <B +\| L>). 214 The local byte size is 8.` [download] (The output of `rstatus` is too long and boring to bother including here, but may have usefulclues for you as well.) Anyway, if your server implements some particular command, then you can use the quote method of Net::FTP to send a particular command string to the server to get what you want. I hope this is of some use to you... roboticus	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You might then try the rhelp and or rstatus commands to get a list of the commands that your FTP server supports and look for clues. On our mainframe, for example:

ftp> rhelp
214-The server-FTP commands are:
214-ABOR,*ACCT,*ALLO, APPE, CDUP,  CWD, DELE, FEAT, HELP, LANG, LIST, 
+MDTM, MKD

214-ADAT, AUTH, CCC, PBSZ, PROT, EPSV, EPRT
214-The commands preceded by '*' are not implemented

214-one of the following Double Byte Character Sets:

214 HELP SERVER command or QUOTE HELP command

ftp> rhelp type
214-TYPE {representation-type} {format}: the default type is ASCII.
214-The implemented data types are ASCII(TYPE A <N>), EBCDIC (TYPE E <

214-IMAGE (TYPE I), DBCS (TYPE B <options>), and UNICODE (TYPE U 2 <B

214 The local byte size is 8.

rstatus

Anyway, if your server implements some particular command, then you can use the quote method of Net::FTP to send a particular command string to the server to get what you want.
