Perl: Sending file from UNIX server to Windows server
I'm trying to write a Perl script where a file from a UNIX server box connects to a Windows server box and copies that file into the Window box.
The main problem I have right now is that whenever I try to connect to the Windows box, the connection is refused.

The error message that always pops up is:
cannot connect to host name: Net::FTP: connect: Connection refused at transfer.pl line 16.

My code is essentially this:

Code:
#!/user/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Net::FTP;

my $directory = `pwd`;
chomp($directory);
$directory .= "/";

#print "Give name of file being transferred:\n";
#chomp($directory .= <>);

my $host = '<server name or ip address>';

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 0) or die "cannot connect to host name: $@";
$ftp->quit;

Any thoughts as to why this would happen (ex. firewall issues)?
For the host name, I use the domain name (both the short and full versions) and the actual IP address, but all of them have the same error message.
Many thanks!
