Any Known Problems with Net::FTP

Gorby has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello Wise Monks,

I have been using my perl program with the Net::FTP module for a few years to upload files to my ftp server. Now, all of a sudden it doesn't work. I didn't change anything. What could be going on? When I use thd DOS ftp service, or any other FTP client, it works. I'm so frustrated. Is there a new version of Net::FTP that I need to install on my windows computer? Hope you can help. Thanks in advance.

Gorby

Gorby, Whenever I've had problems like that with Net::FTP, it's usually been because a firewall rule or the server type changed, either on my side or the client's, and all of a sudden only passive (or only active) mode works. If you were using Passive=>1, switch to 0. If you weren't, switch to Passive=>1. I hope this helps -- if it doesn't, Debug mode will definitely help you sort it out. Mike	[reply]

A Net::FTP and DBM::Deep clash I first thought the problem was with DBM::Deep but it turned out it was Net::FTP	[reply]

Turn on Debug (set `Debug => 1` in your `new()`), run your script, come back and tell us what it says. Nobody says perl looks like line-noise any more kids today don't know what line-noise IS ...	[reply] [d/l] [select]
