As it turned out there was some problem with the file I was trying to transfer. I could not transfer it even using an ftp client. The ftp client also aborts with a time out.
Another question. How can I use the *Resume* facility provided by an ftp server??? Currently on error I restart the process again. I go back to the start of the script - match the sizes of the file to upload and the one present - if different then upload - else go to next file. The incompletely transferred file is overwritten and the transfer is not resumed from where it aborted.

Is then one ftp server set to timeout after xx amount of seconds? The message means ( not a dictionary definition ) basically that the server hasn't seen aby action for a specified period of time and said good bye to your script.

I am using the Net::FTP for the recursive transfer of product builds to germany. While one script is successfully transferring, the other is aborting with the following error : Timeout at C:/Perl/lib/Net/FTP.pm line 741 Both the transfer scripts are exactly the same barring the difference in source->target parameters. What does this message mean and is there any workaround ?
