<body> Hi monks,
I have some perl code that I use to ftp files from our mainfarme but
when I try to use the same code to connect to a windows ftp server it won't
connect.  The server address is good I've connected to it using my
mainframe ftp program.
Any ideas?

Perl code
open(FTP_WORK, ">@FTP_cmnd_file");
    $oldHandle = select(FTP_WORK);
    print("open windows.ftp.server  \n");
    print("my\\userid \n");
    print("password  \n");
    print("cd '/download'  \n");
    print("get '$downfile' $ftpFile   \n");
    print("bye  \n");

close(FTP_WORK);

$_ = `ftp -s:@FTP_cmnd_file > @FTP_log_file`;

I also tried this code I got from your site, It didn't work ether.


$ftp = Net::FTP->new( $server, Passive => 1, Debug => 0 ) or die $@;
messages retruned.
ftp> ftp> open window.ftp.server
Invalid command.

thanks. </body>
