Re: Net::FTP pwd bug?

[mikeock]

When using this module. I cannot get the pwd command to work.

I am connected to an ftp server and am trying to use $ftp->pwd() and I get nothing in return. Is this dumping to a default variable that I am missing or is this really a bug?

Hi,

If you are following the above code try something like :

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use Net::FTP;
my $destserv="ftp.myhost.com";
my $destuser="username";
my $destpass="password";

$ftp = Net::FTP->new($destserv) or die "error connecting\n";
$ftp->login($destuser,$destpass);
my $mypath = $ftp->pwd();
$ftp->quit();
print "FTP Path: $mypath";

Keep in mind that this is untested, its late and I am seriously sleep deprived.
Have you checked out the documentation? There is a link to examples you can also have a look at.

Hope this helps

When that variable is added  my $mypath = $ftp->pwd(): to my code, I get the same results as just trying to call  $ftp->pwd();

And by the same I mean that there is no repsonse at all. The Box that has the server on it allows me to login and type pwd so I know that it is supported on the server.

Have you tried trapping for errors similar to the code in grantm's post above?:

my $path = $ftp->pwd() or
  die "pwd failed: " . $ftp->code() . ": " . $ftp->message();
print "$path\n";
