I'm developing a program to download some files from a vendor site. The site uses FTP with SSL. I can connect but my data connections are dropped. I think that the module is not allowing encryption on the data channel. I tested with lftp and my data connections (e.g. and ls command) only worked after I enable encryption on the data channel. Yes, the ls returns files and directories.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::FTPSSL;

my $server = "ftps.example.com";
my $username = "*********";
my $passwd = "**********";

my @ret;

my $ftps = Net::FTPSSL->new( $server,
    Debug => 1)
    or error("Cannot reach $server");

$ftps->login($username, $passwd)
    or error("Credential error, $ftps->last_message");

@ret = $ftps->list()
    or error("Command error, $ftps->last_message");

$ftps->pwd();

print @ret;

Sample output:

>>> USER ********
<<< 331 Password required for ********.
>>> PASS ********
<<< 230 User ******* logged in.
>>> PBSZ 0
<<< 200 PBSZ Command successful.
>>> PROT P
<<< 200 PROT Command successful.
>>> PASV
<<< 227 Entering Passive Mode (**************)
>>> LIST
<<< 150 Opening data connection for '/bin/ls'.
<<< 226 Transfer complete.
>>> PWD
<<< 257 "/home/*******" is current directory.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
