Net::FTP

[lucas]

having trouble listing the files using Net::FTP:

print ">Connecting...";
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($addy, Port => $port, Debug => $debug) || die
"Could Not Connect\n";
print "Done\n";

print ">Logging in...";
$ftp->login($user,$pass) || die "Can't Log In\n";
print "Done\n";

print ">Listing files...";
@_ = $ftp->ls();
print "Done\n";
print "@_\n";

this code returns:

Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82de9d8)>>> PORT 192,168,0,2,129,26
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82de9d8)<<< 200 PORT command successful.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82de9d8)>>> NLST
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82de9d8)<<< 150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file
list.
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x82de9d8)<<< 226 Transfer complete.

Listing files...Done

ARRAY(0x8308ef8)

printing @_ just shows "ARRAY(0x8308ef8)". this is the way it's done in the
examples. anybody know what's wrong with it?

regards,

That script works fine for me with Perl 5.8.0 on Solaris, using Net::FTP
2.65. Have you examined the contents of @_ using Data:umper to see
what's actually in the reference @_ contains? Try adding these lines:

use Data:umper;
print Dumper(\@_);

Also, what versions of Perl and Net::FTP are you using?
perl -v
perl -MNet::FTP -e'print $Net::FTP::VERSION;'

If you're not using at least Perl 5.80 and Net::FTP 2.65, consider
upgrading.

i am running perl v5.8 and Net::FTP v2.70. DataDumper did work and printed
out:

$VAR1 = [
[
'Games X Copy',
'index.html',
'EasyOS.zip',
]
];

i was hoping to be able to just get a plain file list, but i can make this
work. thanks for your help

DataDumper did work and printed out:

$VAR1 = [
[
'Games X Copy',
'index.html',
'EasyOS.zip',
]
];

That means that @_ contains one element ( $_[0] ), which is an array
reference.

i was hoping to be able to just get a plain file list,

Just dereference the array reference:

my @files = @{ $_[0] };

perldoc perlreftut
perldoc perlref

Hi,

Does anyone know why Net::FTP does not support nmap?

I did check the documentation.

Is there any alternative?

Ta.
