Re: NET::FTP: ls command fails

[jesuashok]

esskar,

use Net::FTP;

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new( "192.168.10.240", Debug => 1)
 or die "Cannot connect to " . "192.168.10.240" . ": $@";
     
$ftp->login("metrica", "metrica")
 or die "Cannot login ", $ftp->message;
                       
$ftp->cwd("/apps/inst1/metrica")
 or die "Cannot change working directory ", $ftp->message;
     
$ftp->pasv;    
     
my @dir = $ftp->ls; # <-- LINE 50

print "Files :" , join('-',@dir), "\n";

I executed the above code and it worked fine for me.

yes; i think it may be a problem with the MS Ftp Server. But i do no know.

and there is actually a difference. In your case, no PORT command is send to server; so it is working. But somehow, in my case it is sending a PORT command; maybe i should try to call NLST directly
