does command line scp work?
Run a couple of tests using scp and sftp commands with the verbose flag (-v) and post here the output.

scp generates:
exec: cp: Not Found
Is that cos I'm using windows - searching the web makes it look like these are unix commands that I don't have installed?

both scp and sftp should be part of the OpenSSH package. PuTTY has pscp and psftp.

Ok, the saga continues...
This is the information I have back from the client:
'We restrict external logins to sftp connections only and chroot the users into their home directories, i.e. you don’t see “/home/mediatech” when you log in, you just see “/”. Now the problem arises when you are chrooted, in this case the command line sftp won’t connect, when you are not chrooted command line sftp works fine. Unfortunately this server is shared with other external customers so it is considered good practice to have all accounts chrooted.
I can’t find anything about why this is the case or how to fix it but I have found that psftp (command line sftp that comes with Putty) works. As far as I can see psftp is a generic command line sftp client that does everything Openssh sftp does. I assume that it would integrate into Perl scripts exactly the same as sftp would.'
So my question is - Can I get Net::SFTP::Foreign to work with Putty psftp? If not is there another module I could use?
Thanks

plink *remoteHost* -p *remotePort* -v sftp-server
plink *remoteHost* -p *remotePort* -v /usr/lib/sftp-server
Does anyone of them hangs (that means that the sftp-server is listening) instead of exiting with an error?
Once you find how to launch the remote sftp-server, tell Net::SFTP::Foreign to use the same command with the open2_cmd constructor option. For instance:
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(open2_cmd => "plink $host -p $port
+/usr/lib/sftp-server");
$sftp->error and die "SFTP connection failed: " . $sftp->error;
update: and BTW, I think the root of the problem is an incomplete chroot'ed configuration for sshd in the remote side. Probably, they have not configured sshd to use internal-sftp server for the SFTP subsystem.
Ask them to check that the sshd_config file contains the following line:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp

I can get 'plink' to connect and hang up to this point:

Allocated pty (ospeed 38400bps, ispeed 38400bps

..and when I break out of it I get:

So it looks like that works
However, when I put the same syntax into Net::SFTP::Foreign, after the shell starts, I get:
Server exited on signal "INT"

Are we getting closer?

Yep, just calling the constructor at the mo, I need to get into how the module works a bit more now I know it's working!
...a nice bit of code. Thanks!!
By the way, is there a 'move' method in Net::SFTP::Foreign module so that you can move files from one directory on the FTP site to another?

| [reply] [Watch: Dir/Any] |

Net::SFTP::Foreign requires SFTP to be working (or allowed) on the remote server.
If all you are allowed to do is to scp there, then you can try Net::SSH2, Net::SSH::Perl or Net::SCP, though, as you are using keys for authentication, probably just calling the scp (or pscp) program from Perl would be the simplest solution.
Also, take into account that scp is very limiting and will allow you to transfer files from one side to the other only. For instance, you will not be able to move files around on the server (update: oh, well, unless they allow you to run any remote command and not just scp in client mode).
