Errors using Net::DownloadMirror

nathanvit has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello guys,
i'm trying to make a mirror of a directory in which i've a webserver by ftp to my local PC.
I'm using Net::DownloadMirror as the example:

use Net::DownloadMirror;

my $um = Net::DownloadMirror->new(
        ftpserver       => "192.168.0.52",
        usr             => "nathanvi",
        pass            => "MYPASS",
        localdir        => "C:\\Documents and Settings\\dip8a01015\\Ea
+syPHP1-8\\www\\tiki",
        remotedir       => "/var/www",
        debug           => 1, # 1 for yes, 0 for no
        timeout         => 500, # default 30
        );
 print("hostname : ", $um->get_ftpserver(), "\n");
 $um->Update();

I received a lot of errors:

....
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1ae5470)>>> CWD /var/www//var/www/dadabik
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x1ae5470)>>> 550 /var/www//var/www/dadabik: No such fil
+e or directory
/var/www//var/www/dadabik is neither a file nor a directory
....

In the server's log i can see:

[21/Mar/2006:17:25:50 +0100] nathanvi.lingotto.local 192.168.50.195 55

Any suggestion please?

Best guess is that your webserver automatically logs you into /var/www and then you are appending /var/www to that (or it's setting '/' to /var/www). Try leaving the remotedir parameter blank (''). Tom Melly, tom@tomandlu.co.uk	[reply]

I had this same issue. I didn't have too much time to resolve this but I've found temporary solution. Problem was in Net::MirrorDir (0.05). I changed line 120 from `$self->{_readremotedir}->($self, "$p/$_") for(@files);` [download] to `$self->{_readremotedir}->($self, "$_") for(@files);` [download] and it worked Regards, emde	[reply] [d/l] [select]
