DETAILS

Comparison

Net::FTPSSL implements the FTP protocol over encrypted connections. Net::FTPSSL::Robust adds retries and logging, to retrieve data which takes hours to download, sometimes over quite instable connections. It uses Log::Report which can connect to various logging frameworks for its messages.

Limitations

See "Limitations" in Net::FTP::Robust.
