Re: Bad File descriptor Error

You have

$ftp->get("$_") or die "Cannot get $_: $! $^E\n";

But $! and $^E aren't set by Net::FTP. The module's synopsis has a clear example of how to get the error message:

    $ftp->get("that.file")
      or die "get failed ", $ftp->message;

Note that this'll expose that 550 error that the debug output shows, which means "file unavailable" according to a FTP RFC:

         550 Requested action not taken.
             File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access).

Thanks a lot for quick reply. Whatever file I am trying to access is available in that location. Strangely I see a "\" is being getting added to filename by "get()". I am just passing file name as it is. Does the function get() misbehave? `Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1eb0c44)>>> PORT 192,168,2,31,14,171 Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1eb0c44)<<< 200 PORT command successful. Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1eb0c44)>>> RETR Access_Sequence_DotNet_Log.html Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1eb0c44)<<< 550 \Access_Sequence_DotNet_Log.html : can +'t find the file Cannot get Access_Sequence_DotNet_Log.html \Access_Sequence_DotNet_Log.html : can't find the file` [download] Thanks Amit	[reply] [d/l]

I assume that the leading backslash indicates the full path the server thinks you're asking for. Note the `RETR` line shows the correct filename is sent. You might want to `print $ftp->cwd(), "\n";` before you call `->get` to make sure you're in the right directory on the server.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Strangely I see a "\" is being getting added to filename by "get()" No, by the server. Note the direction of the arrows. "<<<" means from the server. You need to either specify an absolute path or set the cwd correctly.	[reply]
