I think you're probably best to just experiment with some changes in the script that's causing the problem. Do you need to specify 'Passive => 1' in the new() constructor ? What happens if you leave it out, but leave the '$ftp->pasv()' call in ? What happens if you remove the '$ftp->pasv()', but leave in the 'Passive => 1' ? What happens if you remove both '$ftp->pasv()' and 'Passive=> 1' ? Do you actually need to catch the return value of '$ftp->pasv()' (in $port) ? Most scripts that I see ignore the return value. Apparently someone, somewhere, has changed something - but I don't know who, where, or what :-) Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
