Hi! Please help.
How I can download file from ftp server via browser. I try use code below, but it not download file. it print file in browser.

-----------------------------------------------------------
print "Content-type: file\n\n";# I seem this is wrong?
eval {
use Net::FTP;
use CGI qw:)standard);
};
print $@;
my $file = param('file');

my $ftp = Net::FTP->new("ftp.tripod.com");
$ftp->login('user','password');
$ftp->cwd('script');
$ftp->get($file,*STDOUT);
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
The line '$ftp->get($file,*STDOUT);' gets the file and stores it on standard output, which in this case is the browser. If you want to download the file and store it locally, do the following.

$ftp->get($file, $dir);
where $dir is the desired directory.
