in reply to File Open Error = 13?

You can work out what that error number means easily:

C:\test>perl -le"$!=13; print $!" Permission denied

Which strongly suggests that the userid you're using doesn't have permission to access the required file.

    Thanks!! That is strange as I use that userID/pass in FileZilla without any issues. I'll need to dig deeper.
      It's a *local* permission issue. You don't have permission to overwrite file C:\temp\ftp
        How can I not have permission on my local machine (It's a windows machine if that matters)? Am I missing something with the local file syntax? I wanted it to put the file from the remote location in folder ftp which is a subfolder of temp with the same file name.
