I am experiencing intermittent hangs (resulting if FTP timeouts) when running a system script on a Solaris box that creates an FTP connection to a remote NT server. Below is a simple script that was written to test the problem with the FTP connection on the system script. All this script does is create an FTP connection, log-on and then toggle between two remote dirs and prints the filenames found... and it still experiences the hangs. Any input would be appreciated. use Net::FTP; use strict; my ($ftp, $path1, $path2); #Create a FTP handle object $ftp = Net::FTP->new('***.***.***.***', Timeout => 500) || die "WARNING! Could not create FTP handle"; #Connect to FTP server $ftp->login('usrname', 'passwd') || print "[main] FTP returned an error $!\n"; #change transfer type to binary to get correct file sizes $ftp->binary; $path1 = "//delta/import/reports/csvreports/testing"; $path2 = "//delta/import/reports/csvreports/testing2"; $ftp->cwd($path1); print $ftp->pwd()."\n"; while (1) { printStuff($path1); printStuff($path2); sleep(1); } sub printStuff{ my $path = shift; my @files; my $temp; $ftp->cwd($path); print "Currently serarching directory $path\n"; @files = $ftp->ls(); foreach $temp (@files) { print "$temp\n"; } } ********************************************************************** This e-mail may be confidential and only the intended recipient may access or use it.
