I do have permission those ftp accounts where created for my usage. Firewall not blocking i can access the sites with standard ftp client all the access info was copy/pasted from the origial documents. I also tried to copy paste the user and pass from my .pwd file and it works great and I still can connect to one remote and one local ftps using this code

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use Net::FTP;
use strict;

my $site = shift @ARGV;
my $dir = shift @ARGV;
my $sd = "/SCRIPTS";
my $wd = "/DATA";
my $access_file="$sd/ftp_access_info/$site.pwd";

my $ftp; # name for the ftp class
my $host; # ftp name
my $user; # user name for ftp
my $pass; # password for ftp

my @files; # list of files on the ftp
#get access info from file
open(FTP_ACCESS, "<" , $access_file);
my @ftp_access = <FTP_ACCESS>;
chomp @ftp_access;
close (FTP_ACCESS);


#set access info
$host = $ftp_access[0];
$user =  $ftp_access[1];
$pass =  $ftp_access[2];
print "|$host|\n|$user|\n|$pass|\n";
#get directory listing
print "Connecting\n";
$ftp=Net::FTP->new("$host",Timeout=>240) or die "connect\n";
print "Loging in\n";
$ftp->login("$user","$pass") or die "login\n"; 
print "Getting File lists\n";
$ftp->cwd($dir) if $dir;
@files=$ftp->dir or die "dir\n";
print "$_\n" foreach @files;
$ftp->quit;
