I recently rebuilt Vista following a hard disk failure and I can no longer upload files without them being corrupted (lines truncated). It was fine before. My FileZilla FTP client works fine. But with Net::FTP there is some weirdness going on.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use Config::Simple;
use Net::FTP;

my $success;

my %cnf;
Config::Simple->import_from(q{cnf/sw.cnf}, \%cnf);

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($cnf{host}, Passive => 1)
    or die qq{cant connect: $!\n};
print $ftp->message;

$success = $ftp->login($cnf{login}, $cnf{pwd});
print $ftp->message;

$ftp->ascii;
#$ftp->binary;
print $ftp->message;


my $local = q{c:/www/032/docroot/test.html};
my $remote = q{032/docroot/test.html};
$success = $ftp->put($local, $remote);
print $ftp->message;
[download]

output

FTP Server ready.
User u41576016 logged in
Type set to A
Opening ASCII mode data connection for 032/docroot/test.html

result

<html
<head
<title>ftp test</title
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
+"
</head
<body
<h1>ftp test</h1
</body
</html>
[download]

With $ftp->ascii commented out and $ftp->binary uncommented I get

<html>
<head>
<title>ftp test</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1
+">
</head>
<body>
<h1>ftp test</h1>
</body>
</html>
[download]

Changing passive to 0 doesn't affect the outcome.

Now, I admit this more than likely a combination of my ineptitude and Vista. A lethal combination! :-)

Can anyone shed any light on it?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
