Well, there are two general modes for FTP: active and passive. - In active mode the client opens a control connection to the server and for every data transfer from the server a separate data connection is opened (initiated by the server). This is probably what you were thinking of.
- Passive mode FTP has only one joint control/data connection initiated by the client. If you are behind a firewall-setup that will not permit incoming connections, this is the way to go.
Not having looked deeply into your code: If you're on a network with no special security and your original setup was geared towards a regular FTP-Server, your original script should be portable to a new box.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
