Re: FTP from Perl script on Windows

I have tried to use FTP from Perl (not using System() but directly from
perl script), and
found out that all the sample programs found on the Internet don't work.
Further investigation showed
that there is following error

"Cannot connect to host: Net::FTP: Bad protocol 'tcp' at ftptest1.pl line
3."

The part of the perl script that caused this error is:

1.#!/usr/bin/perl -w
2. use Net::FTP;
3. $ftp = Net::FTP->new("Host", Debug => 0) or die "Cannot connect to
host: $@";


Can't see anything that should pose a problem (assuming "Host" is replaced
by the valid string for whatever your host really is).

The following works fine for me on Win32:

use warnings;
use Net::FTP;
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("rtfm.mit.edu", Debug => 1)
or die "Cannot connect to host: $@";
$ftp->login('anonymous','anonymous');
$ftp->cwd("/pub/usenet-by-group/");
$ftp->quit;

What does that script produce for you ?

Cheers,
Rob
