Net::FTP using the third argument in the get method.

[randy4126]

I am having trouble using the third argument in the get method(where in bytes). Every time I use it never downloads the rest of the file. Is this not supported by every ftp server? I am trying to avoid having to send a larger file over and over. I on;y want the new part of the file.

If you turn on debug mode, does it give you a specific error message?
$ftp = Net::FTP->new($host, Debug => 1);

I get this error..
504 Restart requires Block or Compressed transfer mode.

And the module documentation says block or compressed transfer mode is unimplemented.. maybe it's not possible with this module? I'm also FTPing from a mainframe, so you might get different results.
