[Melbourne-pm] FTP on RHEL [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

[Brendon Oliver]

Upgrading libnet might help... Kal's (/wave) script  works for me: perl
5.20.2 + Net::FTP v3.05

[brendon at aragorn bin]$ ./test-ftp.pl
Net::FTP>>> Net::FTP(3.05)
Net::FTP>>>   Exporter(5.71)
Net::FTP>>>   Net::Cmd(3.05)
Net::FTP>>>   IO::Socket::IP(0.29)
Net::FTP>>>     IO::Socket(1.38)
Net::FTP>>>       IO::Handle(1.35)
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)<<< 220 ProFTPD 1.3.3g Server (ftp.arin.net)
[::ffff:199.212.0.151]
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)>>> USER anonymous
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)<<< 331 Anonymous login ok, send your complete
email address as your password
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)>>> PASS ....
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)<<< 230 Anonymous access granted, restrictions apply
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)>>> CWD /pub/stats
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)<<< 250 CWD command successful
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)>>> PASV
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)<<< 227 Entering Passive Mode
(199,212,0,151,219,13).
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)>>> NLST T*
Net::FTP=GLOB(0x150de88)<<< 450 No files found
No files found
        at main::(unknown source)


The changes page at https://metacpan.org/changes/distribution/libnet is not
very helpful tho - the version jumps from v.1.30 to 3.0 over 8/9 Oct
2014... but there are mentions of other issues with PASV mode, perhaps
they're related?

Cheers,

- Brendon
