Anyone have any ideas why code using Net::FTP on one machine
won't work on another?
However, the most common cause of problems with Net::FTP
is not a Perl but a networking problem - namely firewalls
and NAT gateways. Have you tried switching your client to
passive FTP mode? That fixes problems most of the time.
Turning off the firewall on the second Mac made no difference.
However, changing the line from
my $ftp = new Net::FTP("ftp.ncbi.nih.gov") or die;
to
my $ftp = new Net::FTP("ftp.ncbi.nih.gov", Passive => "1") or die;
seemed to have done the trick. Thanks for the suggestion.
