Corrupted Download with Net::FTP (perl)
Hello,

I am trying to download several files from a remote FTP server using Net::FTP from within a perl script. The files download alright, except they appear to be corrupted. I know this because once after downloading, I use bzcat to pipe the files to a split command, and bzcat complains saying that: "bzcat: Data integrity error when decompressing".

Has anyone ever encountered this problem before and could suggest a possible solution? If I manually grab the files off the FTP it's fine. Even if I only run the FTP portion of the script, the files are still corrupt.


Any help is appreciated,

Thanks.

Did you select "binary mode" for the transfer (instead of ascii)?
