Re^3: File transfer not working on server

Are you using use strict; and use warnings;? Again, is Perl throwing some error or warning? Is it dieing? If you provide more information, you will get better answers.

Modify your statement to this:

unless (-d $destinationFile) {
    die "Destination directory not found: $!";
}

It will die and show you why.

I don't think you will. -d doesn't set $! to anything useable. I get "Bad file descriptor" in $! after using -d no matter whether it succeeded or failed. The $^E seems to make more sense "The system cannot find the file specified" when failed, but "Access is denied" when successfull. In either case, nothing that'd help. (I'm using perl v5.8.7 under WinServer 2k3 SP1)
