in thread Net::FTP::Recursive question

I am running on Linux so the "ls" command is available. Also, there is no error message warning me of anything. If I run the program on Windows, I get an error message.

    Hello,

    I think that is exactly soopy's point. If you are running the script on a Linux machine, you will not have the error because "ls" is the usual command for listing directory contents.

    The "ls" command does not exist on a Windows machine. So the error occurs.

    Or are you are running your script from a Linux machine and trying to recursively put to a Windows machine? Doesn't matter... it still won't work because the "ls" command on the Windows box will fail. It doesn't exist.

    Hmmm. Your code works for me under Linux. Some other suggestions:

  • It's not just that the files ending up where you expect? The contents of ABC are going to the home directory. If your intention is to replicate ABC directory. You'll need to create it and cd to it yourself:
    $ftp_obj->mkdir('ABC'); # make sure the directory exists $ftp_obj->cwd('ABC') || die $ftp_obj->message;;
  • Set Debug => 1 when you open the ftp object. It'll give you lots of useful debugging info.
