(Re: x 8) Problem using Net::FTP

[jarich]

1. Read perldoc File::Copy or if that's too hard read the html version over at CPAN.

2. Read my previous posts to you, particularly the bits about File::Copy.

3. Wonder why after the above you're trying to use mv through system when I've shown you a better way.

4. Realise that you're doing that mv inside a loop so of course the damn files aren't going to be there the next time around the loop!

5. Change calls to system to use move from File::Copy instead and change these lines to be outside of the second for loop, eg the place where you send the email. Remember to then check that your move succeeded (by using the unless statements like I did).

6. Rejoice because it all finally works the way it should.

Hope it helps.

hi jarich

thanks again !
with move works well.

sorry for asking again, but I have other question
howto check if the first file was transfered succesfully
and be 100% sure, that the first file is already on the remote server
and only then send the second file ?
my really problem is, I cannot send the second file, when the first file is not there.

Read the documentation. I'm sure it'll tell you what happens if it fails to upload the file. Perhaps it returns false if that happens?

Once you know what happens after failure, you should be able to cater for that.

I would presume that your $ftp->put($new) or die "$server: cannot put $new: " . $ftp->message; would be sufficient myself...

If you're seeing cases where $ftp->put($new) is not returning false and if that's what the documentation says it should and the file is not being successfully transferred then that's a different matter, and one I can't help you with.

If you are seeing cases like that then you should try to identify under what circumstances that's happening. If you can identify the circumstances, and repeat the problem, but not fix it, then that would make an excellent SOPW question.

All the best,
