Hi!  

Have you tried using $ftp->site()?

"site (ARGS) 
Send a SITE command to the remote server and wait for a response. 
Returns most significant digit of the response code."  (Net::FTP perldoc)

If that doesn't work, you may be able to get it working as $ftp->quot():

"quot (CMD [,ARGS]) 
Send a command, that Net::FTP does not directly support, to the remote
server and wait for a response. 
Returns most significant digit of the response code. 
WARNING This call should only be used on commands that do not require data
connections. Misuse of this method can hang the connection. "  (Net::FTP
perldoc)

hth,
-Leah

Subject: [Perl-unix-users] FTP to AS400, issue sending command


Hi, I need to send the command "quote site namefmt 1" to the FTP server on
an AS400 as part of a file transfer script. Is it possible to send
non-standard commands using the Net::FTP module ?

Here's my code, I'm stuck.

        $host="ftpserver";
        $ftp = Net::FTP->new("$host", Debug => 1);
        $ftp->login("$username","$password") || die logger ("Could not login
to FTP server\n");
        logger("Successfully logged into FTP Server");
        $ftp->"quote site namefmt 1";
