Hi, here is the script which I used to do the ftp with ASCII command. Please 
advise. Thanks very much!!

#!perl

$ls_filename_e = "E26067.SRV" ;

use Net::FTP ;
use constant HOST => 'hostname' ;

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new(HOST, Firewall=>'proxy') ;
$ftp->login('userID', 'password') ;

$ftp->ascii() ;

Regards,
Dominic Tan

I don't believe you.  You're doing something else wrong or misunderstanding
something.  Create a small test snippet that fails and a small ASCII file
to D/L and post your failing script and data.
