[MacPerl] Re: using Net::FTP

[Katherine Richmond]

I figured out my problem. It works with $ftp->ls(). Default is the current
directory. I still don't know why the $ftp->ls("webshare:available:") doesn't
work.

I can get and put a file using Net::FTP if I know the name of the file. I need
to be able to open a directory and get all the files in it, without knowing
their names. Here is my code that 'almost' works.

$ftp->cwd("webshare:available:") or die "Can't cwd to webshare:available:";

my @items = $ftp->ls("webshare:available:");


foreach my $f(@items) {

                print "This file is named " . $f;
                print "\n";
                $ftp->get($f) or die "Can't get file."; 

        }



There are 2 files in the available directory. The loop runs through twice
printing, "This file is named  "

Then I get the error, "Can't get file."

It knows there are 2 files, but somehow does not read the name from $f. Can you
see what I am doing wrong?

Thanks so much,
