I have created a script that will ftp a file to a number of different servers. The problem I am having is the file is being transferred and the file size remains the same but the file looks empty. All the characters in the file are being replaced with NULL values. 
sub ftp_file{

my ( $hosts ) = @_;
my ($pass, $remotefile);
my @hosts = ();
my %host = ();
my $currdir = cwd();
my $localfile = sprintf("%s/%s",
                         $params->get("Path.From"),
                         $params->get("File"));

if ($params->exists("Path.To")){
$remotefile = sprintf("%s/%s",
                         $params->get("Path.To"),
                         $params->get("File"));
}#end if statement
else{
$remotefile = sprintf("%s/%s",
                         $params->get("Path.From"),
                         $params->get("File"));
}#end else statement

    &ebenx::nm_UnHide($pass, $hosts->[2]);
    my $host = { 'host' => $hosts->[0],
                 'login' => $hosts->[1],
                 'pass' => $pass
                 };

    $app->log($INFO, "Copying [ $localfile ] to $$host{host}");
    my $ftp = new Net::FTP($$host{host}, Timeout => 30)
        or $app->log($FATAL, "Unable to initialize ftp object: $!");
    $ftp->login($$host{login}, $$host{pass} )
        or $app->log($FATAL, "Unable to login to $$host{host}: $!");
    $ftp->put($localfile, $remotefile)
        or $app->log($FATAL, "Unable to put $localfile to $$host{host}
+ as $remotefile: $!");
    $ftp->quit();

}#end ftp_file
