Did you set BINARY mode?

Yes. Here's the script:



#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::FTP;
my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.mydomain.com") or die "\nINFO: Cann't connect";
$ftp->binary();
$ftp->login("myid","mypasswd") or die "\nINFO: Failed to login";
print "\nINFO: Login successful. Now getting...";
$ftp->cwd("mydir") or die "\nINFO: Couldn't change directory\n";
$ftp->get("test.tgz");
$ftp->quit;
print "\ndone\n";

I also tried it without binary. But the problem persists. BTW, the 'put' for the same tarball goes thru perfectly fine.

We saw the similar issue in our application. This was caused due to the link speed was reduced from 100mbps to 10mbps.



May be you would like to check on your link speed.

the problem is that you are calling the binary method before authenticating with the ftp server...so you are really using ascii



move the binary line below the login line and you should be fine
