Hi

I am trying to ftp files from a windows server to a unix machine. When I login with the required credentials into the windows server , I want to make sure that the login directory is the correct one else I should change directory before initiating the ftp process.
I am using a perl script for ftping the files.
Please help.

get the name of the directory after you login, see the documentation for the FTP module you are using for details.

Hi

I have tried using
[ftp->pwd]
to get the name of the current directory after I login but on windows server it always shows '/' as the login directory so I am not able to verify if it's the correct one.

Please help.

Assuming you are using NET::FTP, look at the ls() or dir() functions and see if one of them will work.

i think you shouldn't need to worry too much on whether its the correct directory because you would have set it properly when configuring your FTP server.
