Title: Perl help "permission denied" when reading files from directory.
Post by: acidblue on July 31, 2010, 10:37:33 AM

I'm getting a "permission denied" error from the local computer,(WinXp), when I try reading files to upload  to my FTP server.
This happens whether its a single file or reading multiple files from a directory.
Also tried with passive on or off.

Reading from directory error:
"Cannot open Local file C:\Documents and Settings\user\Folder1\Folder2\file: Permission denied"

Code: [Select]

use File::HomeDir;
use Net::FTP;


$path=home()."\\My Documents\\My Pictures";

my $server    = "FTP.server.net";
my $username  = "usr";
my $pass      = "pass";

print "Connecting to $server..";

# Set up connection
$ftp = Net::FTP->new( $server, Passive => 0, Debug => 3 ) or die $@;
print "..authenticating..";

# Log in...
$ftp->login( $username, $pass ) or die $ftp->message;
print "..done!\n";

print $ftp->pwd (), "\n";
$ftp->cwd('/ftp') or die $ftp->message;
print $ftp->pwd (), "\n";

# set mode to binary
$ftp->binary();

# read local directory to upload files
opendir(DIR, "$path");
my @files = readdir(DIR);
foreach my $file (@files)
    {
    if (not -d $file)
        {
       
       
        $ftp->put("$path\\$file") or die " Upload error, quiting..";
        }
    }
$ftp->quit();

Single file code give a "permission denied" error.

Code: [Select]

use Net::FTP;
use File::HomeDir;

my $server = "ftp.server.net";
my $username  = "user";
my $pass      = "pass";


$path=home()."\\My Documents\\My Pictures";

print "Connecting to $server..";

# Set up connection
$ftp = Net::FTP->new( $server, Passive => 1, Debug => 1 ) or die $@;
print "..authenticating..";

# Log in...
$ftp->login( $username, $pass ) or die $ftp->message;
print "..done!\n";

print $ftp->pwd (), "\n";
$ftp->cwd('/') or die $ftp->message;
print $ftp->pwd (), "\n";

# Upload file

$ftp->binary();
$ftp->put("$path\\File.txt");
$ftp->quit();

Ok I figured it out, it was the "or die" part of my code.
 
When ever it came to a folder the script would quit giving me the "Permissions error".

Removing the 'or die" part seems to solve this. Actually changing it to 'warn' is probably better.

Now if I can figure out how to upload folders recursively that would be great.
