Re: ftp put problem!

runrig has answered everything you wanted to know about ftp but were afraid to ask ;-). I'll try to answer the last detail:

I'm pretty sure that there is no method named '!ls'. I would bet though that there is a method named 'lls', short for 'local ls'.

UPDATE: Checked Net::FTP and there is no lls. With "manual" you probably meant a manual page of ftp and not the manual page of Net::FTP. That is not the same.

UPDATE OF THE UPDATE: ++Fletch for the I-should-have-known-but-did-not explanation

More likely he's confused Net::FTP with the manual for the command line `ftp` client which like many *NIX utilities supports running shell commands by prefixing them with a `!`. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.	[reply]
