FTP TIMEOUT

[timtrust123]

Hi
I have written a Perl script that collects files from an ftp server.
###Extract###

foreach $file (@get_files_list )
{
$ftp_atlas->get ($file)
}
Sometimes the FTP server stops responding and the Perl script waits for a up to 10 minuites before continuing.

Is there a way to set a local timout in the perl script so that if no luck after say 1 minuite contiuue?

Cheers

could there be a lock on the file?

$ftp_atlas - this an instance based on which class? Is there a possibility of setting timeout for that instance -
