Re: How to execute and capture output of remote commands using Net::SSH2

Which version of libssh2 are you using? For proper error handling you need version 1.7.0.

Anyway, I have uploaded a new version of the module (0.63) that now generates errors that would point you to the line in your script where they happened... even if they don't tell you the cause!

Finally, don't disable blocking mode unless you know what you are doing.

Hello Salva You are absolutely right, I am running `libssh2-1:amd64 1.5.0-2 amd64 SSH2 client-side library` this is why I can not see a proper error code. Unfortunately this is the version that cane with the latest openssh-server/client on my distribution. I also know that on Ubuntu libssh2 has 3 active bugs, see libssh2 package in Ubuntu . Most likely the solution to my problem would be to install libssh2 1.7.0-1 as you suggest. Thank you for your time and effort reading and replying to my question.

In Linux, usually, Net::OpenSSH is easier to use and doesn't need any dependency besides the binary `ssh` client.	[reply] [d/l]
