Hi all,
I'm having a problem with FTP, where the remote site is only partially available and
the connect/login/put/get doesn't report an error and doesn't time out.
This leads to the situation where a hanging run on a Friday evening locks up the whole
process until the following Monday, when it can be manually cleared; however, in the
meantime, the transactions from Friday, Saturday & Sunday have all been blocked and we
haven't met our SLA.
What I should like to be able to do is to put a timeout value on the
connect/login/put/get operation, to force it to timeout after (say) 10 minutes - is
there a simple way of doing this ?
These are the relevant calls that are being used :
use Net::FTP;
$ftpClient = Net::FTP->new($FTP_server);
$return_value = $ftpClient->login($FTP_username, $FTP_password);
$return_value = $ftpClient->put($fn);
$return_value = $ftpClient->get($fn, $uniqueLocalname);
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Geoff.
