Hi there inmates, I've got a problem with an FTP between a Windows server & a UNIX server. I wrote a module a couple of years back that does all our FTP's between UNIX servers and runs without issue. We've now moved one of our servers onto a Windows platform and I've loaded Perl onto this server and amended the code - the direction of the solidi in directory names was about the only change made. When I now initiate an FTP from the Windows server there are 3 files to be transferred. The first file gets transferred and then the script stops/disappears. Once a file has been transferred there is a return value sent to the initiating server. I'm sure that this return value is not being returned to the script - I put in a print after the FTP and before the return value is inspected and we never see it! Is this a known problem? Does anyone know how to get round this?
