$ftp->rget() does not work for MS Windows FTP Server

Hello, everyone,
Has anyone tried to use Net::FTP::Recursive to connect to windows ftp
service and used ftp->rget() with it? I tried it several times and it
would return success for ftp->rget() but it wouldn't download my
directory and subdirectories from the Winblows ftp server. I tried the
same code to connect to a linux box and it worked just fine. So I am
wondering - could it be the OS that's wasting my time?
Thanks for any input in advance.
Roumen.

It seems the ftp server doesn't support that function.  Contact the
owner and complain.

Are you saying Billy The Kid? I would just shoot him if could "contact"
him.

On MS FTP server go into properties and set directory listing to Unix

Default is MS-DOS listing
