Perl FTP Help

Following is snippet of my ftp script.

I'm getting the following error.

I appreciate all help.

ERROR: could not cwd D:\inetpub\ftproot\apl at get_apl_files.pl line 19.

Yes, that is the correct directory, and I do have accecc to that directory. I can login no problem.

my $path = "D:\\inetpub\\ftproot\\apl";

if ( my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host) ) {
print "Logging in to '$host' as user '$user'.\n";

$ftp->login($user,$pw) or die "Could not login";
$ftp->pasv();
print "Changing directory to '$path'\n";
$ftp->cwd($path) or die "could not cwd $path";

Shalom,

D:\inetpub\ftproot\apl at get_apl_files.pl line 19.

Letter drives don't exist under Linux. Fix that code. OS is Linux?

J,

Are you connecting to a Windows FTP server, or a linux FTP server? What platform are you connecting from?

It appears as if you want to ftp out of a linux box into a Windows FTP server. If so you shouldn't specify a full directory path to change to. Ex:

1. Windows FTP server is running and the default directory is c:\inetpub\ftproot.

2. When you login to FTP, you're already at that root and you'll want to 'CWD' into apl, which would put you in c:\inetpub\ftproot\apl.

3. Change your $path = "apl";

If you're trying to accomplish this in reverse, FTPing from a Windows box to a linux box, you'll want to use the proper win32 module:

HTH.

Peace,
