RE: [Expectperl-discuss] 'Ftp' acts different in Cygwin and Linux

[Blackstone, J. D. <jda...@ci...>]

  I would never automate an FTP session by wrapping Expect/Expect.pm around
an FTP client.  Use Net::FTP.  I know the Expect book talks about automating
an FTP session, but it's a bad idea when you have a module to do it for you
(and when you can't depend on your FTP clients to behave the same way on
different systems).
