No, I haven't tried that yet... I'll do that now. Thanks -----Original Message----- From: Rex Arul [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 5:08 PM To: Joshua Colson Subject: Re: Net::FTP
OK Josh, let us try this: Why don't you try an ordinary command-line ftp and try to give a get command for the file-name in question? This way we can isolate the problem as to whether this is something that is happening with the server per se for the files in question, or whether this is a problem caused by some 'binding issues' of perl? Did you try that also? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joshua Colson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Rex Arul'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 26, 2001 7:43 PM Subject: RE: Net::FTP > Well, that didn't work, unfortunantly. > I'm pretty much stumped! > > If anyone knows the answer...
