Using system () does not get any different behavior, whether I pass a
list or a proper array. In all cases I see a connection to the server,
followed by a complaint of an invalid directory, and disconnection.
I don't use snapshots; but I used similar code to get packages.
Why use a list/array? I use this code to get a single/multiple files
using wildcards instead. I made a slight mod to my script to test
snapshots.
my $get = shift;
system( 'ftp -ia
ftp://'.$site.'/pub/OpenBSD/'.$ver.'/packages/'.$arch.'/'.$get );
Did you remember to escape the asterisk if passing that into script?
./script \*.tgz
