Hi,

I've got Net::FTP working uploading a .txt file.

use Net::FTP;
$ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.host.com")
or die "Can't connect: $ [at] \n";

$ftp->login($username, $password)
or die "Couldn't authenticate, even with username and password. \n";

$ftp->put($localfile)
or die "Can't send $localfile: $!\n";

$ftp->quit;

How do I get it to upload a binary file, I don't follow the
documentation. Somewhere in the script I believe I have to put:

type => "binary" Where?

According to "perldoc Net::FTP", binary is a method, just like
login, put and quit are. That should mean something like:

$ftp->login($username, $password)
or die "Couldn't authenticate, even with username and password.\n";
$ftp->binary()
or die "Can't switch to binary mode: $!\n";
$ftp->put($localfile)
or die "Can't send $localfile: $!\n";

Hope this helps, Regards, Peter

It's simple, it works. I guess I do not have a good understanding of
module use. Thank you.
