Then how do you know the file transferred through the socket correctly? In the line where you're printing to the file, try just printing to the terminal instead (instead of `print FILE $_;` [download] just use `print $_;` [download] Also, is this a binary file? It's possible that you may need to use read instead of the <> operator. And perhaps binmode as well.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
