where in the Net::FTP docs does it say that? I don't think you will 
find it.

I think you will.
oh, what I was referring to was his lack of a dollar sign in front of 
"ftp" ---



You can set the default server transfer type when you create $ftp 
also... perldoc Net::FTP for more details:

$net = Net::FTP->new($host, { Type => 'I' } ); #for example, untested

Wow, thats new to me :-)
oops, Net::FTP::Common allows that. I am very rusty at Perl programming.
