I dunno where I was 4 years ago (or even more recently) on this one, but
this is an invalid bug.
In the script that was attached, rget is called like this:
$ftpSesh->rget('*.*', FlattenTree => 1);
when it should be called like this instead:
$ftpSesh->rget(FlattenTree => 1);
Apologies for the rather late reply (I'm sure it's a totally useless
reply at this point), but I'm trying to clean up the few bugs that were
filed on me on CPAN.
