Opps. The Net::FTP options start in caps. should be Port=>$port instead of port=>$port!
It was going over to the normal FTP server since the port parameter was not recognised! The user I was testing was not defined to the normal FTP server. Thanks all for the response and help. __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.

The authentication works for one user but not for another. Yet when I use the ftp client on linux, both work fine. I am confused here. Here is a telnet session which should emulate what Net::FTP does. But Net::FTP returns the error "530 PASS command failed". bash-2.04$ telnet mvs 5566 Trying 192.168.43.159... Connected to mvs. Escape character is '^]'. 220-Connect:Enterprise 01.02.00 on z/OS 010400 220-Ready (local host date and time) 2006/019 at 12:15:10 220 WELCOME TO TEST BAX FTP user APINER 331 Send password please. pass IDDD 230 APINER is logged on. Current working Mailbox is "APINER ". On the server side, I do not see anything until authentication is successful. I went through Net::FTP wiith the debugger but I dont see anything funny. Any directions would be appreciated. __________________________________________ Ranga Nathan / CSG Systems Programmer - Specialist; Technical Services; BAX Global Inc.
