Hi All,

Can you please provide more information? We need to see a log file or the output of what is happening so that we can help you. Also, can you please post your script (enclosed in code tags)?

Thanks!

Hi Jeff,

Pl find below the sample script

my $host = "172.16.1.258" ; ## testing server(FTP) details
my $user = "Ninestars" ;
my $pass = "0brette1ns" ;

my $projectname = "KIS-New";
my $uploadfile;

my $Title = "";
my @xmlfile = "";



print "Starting FTP at process $$ ($host)\nUploads .ZIP file to the KNIPSEL server\n";

my $destdir = "/Upload" ; ## Dest directory where the files be uploaded to, creates dir if does not exists
my $workdir = $ARGV[1];#existing
my $delete_sourcefile = -1 ; ## Do you want to delete the file after downloading it?
my $download_file = 1 ; ## Well, do you want to download?
our @ERRORS = () ;
my $newerr = 0 ;

my $filenotpresent= 0;

my $FTPList = $ARGV[0];
chomp($FTPList);

$workdir =~ s/\\/\\\\/g;
chomp($workdir);

open(FTPLST,"$FTPList") || die "Unable to open the $FTPList file \n";

my $batchname;
#chomp($batchname);

#$destdir .= "$batchname\\";
#$backupdir .= "$batchname\\";


# MAKE A CONNECTION TO THE SERVER
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host,Timeout=>10) or $newerr=1;

}
$ftp->quit();

exit($newerr);

sub myerr
{

exit 0;
}


I am facing problem while some zip file size is large and ftp session gets cut while uploading files to remote customer FTP.
