in thread net-sftp-foreign transfer failed vs file not present.

Hello,

I guess that removing the die outside the if solves the issue. I have other query.. how can I print the output of the sftp. when I execute a transfer in the command live and I get a file from the sftp I get this output on screen...
sftp> get BookingReport_Daily_07-08-2014.xls Fetching /dlex/BookingReport_Daily_07-08-2014.xls to BookingReport_Dai +ly_07-08-2014.xls
how can in perl achieve this and redirect that ouptut to a log file per instance.

    I get the feeling, that you start to think too complicated. When you use the sftp command line client it gives you some feedback about the fact that you have just downloaded a file with name 'x' and stored it somewhere locally with name 'y'. This is the same you want to do in your perl script. So, why don't you just simply print a message after you know you've transfered the file? You can also push the message on an internal message stack for later use.
