[perl-win32-gui-users] Net::FTP size()

[Jeremy A. <bc...@te...>]

hi

I have a ftp script that i have been testing on my own machine. It works
when i try it on my ftp server on my computer, but it does not work when on
any server that is not mine.

I feel it is the $ftp->size() that does not register when i logon to a
remote site whether it be a microsoft, freebsd or linux server.....it gives
me no value for the size of the given file...without this i cannot
download, as i have setup my transfers not using the get() command, but
using the $ftp->retr for the purpose of displaying the gui progress bar of
the transfer.


try the attached script....just run it, it will log you on to anomynously
to ftp.microsoft.com and attempt to download a file.

it will display debugging messages such as "cannot get filesize "
