Hi, I have written a small code for ftp to a remote machine and then go to one particular folder (based on some date) and then renaming the files. My problem is for some dates it works fine but for some, it does not get anything for the folder name (which I am getting using 'pwd'). Here is the snippet of my code -

$file_type = '.txt';

            if ($Filename !~ m/($file_type)$/)
            {
                $new_file_name = $Filename . '.txt';

                $ftp->cwd($EffDate);

                $pwd_source = $ftp->pwd;
                &fide_msg ("I am here: $pwd_source");

                $ftp->rename($Filename, $new_file_name);
                &f_msg ("$Filename does not have extension of .txt. Re
+naming file to $new_file_name...");
            }

Here, I am getting $EFFDATE properly in all cases but pwd does not return me anything for few dates. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks!!
