yes, it's right!
I've right now rollled back my Ftp.pm :-D

Same result:
Last error is "xfer start failed: Can't open connection to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx: Invalid argument".

appendig port number, ping fails:
Pings to ftp.XXX.it have failed 1 consecutive times.

It seems that is not so different to put ftp address as host or as
ClientNameAlias, error is the same.
I think that this problem is due to other variable.
