NET::FTP , strange problem

[math]

Hi,
I'm running a windows2000 IIS with activestate perl...
I have made a script that uses NET::FTP... On my server, the script works great... but when I execute it from a remote computer it doesn't upload the file ???

So, When i run the script on the host itself, it works and uploads the file to the remote-ftp-server but when I connect with an other pc, the script works but doesn't upload?? What am I doing wrong? is it some setting??

Does anyone have an idea?
Thanx,
math

math,
your question is way to broad. Might it be possible to narrow in on the portion of the code that you think might be the problem and post that? Also, your discriptions of what you are trying to do from what computer are ambiguous. Maybe I'm a little dense, but, I need a little more meat to dig into. There are so many issues involved in what you are trying to do that it would be difficult to guess at where the stumble is happening.

Good Luck

sub ftp
{
$ftp = Net::FTP->new($host)|| die "cannot connect";
$ftp->login($user,$pass)|| die "cannot login";
$ftp->binary();
$ftp->cwd('/upload')|| die "no dir";
$ftp->put($file)|| die "cannot send file";
$ftp->quit;
&Completed
}


Goboating, Your right !!! but I don't know how to explain it... Some background info, the script first asks a username and password. after that is checked and verified, it gives the user a form in which he can select which file to upload (browse-button). When he hits the "upload"-button, this sub is executed...
AND NOW... (the problem)
When I access/test the script from an other computer, everything works BUT not the upload... (it gives no faults)
When I run the script on the server (IIS) itself (just by typing the same address as everyone should in IE) than It does upload??? It's like the Net::FTP module is only working on the host itself and not for those that access the host through the internet???

Goboating, I hope this is better, it's not narrower... but maybe more clear??

Thanx in advance,
