Hi Thanks for the Reply. The xfer method "ftp" in the error
confused me as well, from the CGI interface it is set to
"rsync" When I check the hosts config file there is NO line
for xfer method if I manually add it, it seems to ignore it.
This is a new install so I thought I would try the beta version
do you recommend I go back to the stable version?
Thanks

The code loads all the Xfer modules and the failure happens
when there is a module that isn't found. The Xfer method
doesn't matter at that point.

Yes, like other non-builtin modules, the ftp code should load this
module inside an eval() in the BEGIN block, and set a flag if it
fails. In particular, this line:
use File::Listing qw/parse_dir/;
in lib/BackupPC/Xfer/ftp.pm should be moved inside the BEGIN block and
used with an eval. It's not quite as simple as adding File::Listing to
this list:
my @FTPLibs = qw( Net::FTP Net::FTP::RetrHandle );
since it needs the "qw/parse_dir/".
