title: Whilst using Perl::FTP, What shall I put in the host field for connecting to a Local computer connected on the network
body: <p>I am using the Net::FTP in perl to do some file transfers. when I run the following code :-</p>
  
  <p>Are there any issues with using the IP address ? Am I correct in providing this in the host field ?</p>
  
  <pre><code>use strict;          
  use Net::FTP;
  
  my $host = "10.77.69.124";
  my $user = "administrator";
  my $password = "Password";
  
  my $f = Net::FTP-&gt;new($host, Debug =&gt;0) or die "Can't open $host\n";
  $f-&gt;login($user, $password) or die "Can't log  $user in\n";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code is not able to connect to the remote host. Why is this happening ? Shouldn't this work with the IP address provided in the <code>$host</code> ?</p>
