Re^5: instantiating an SFTP object

Hi, I don't want to feel like a dufus, but I tried

my $return = $ssh2->check_hostkey(LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ASK);
print "Return:  $return\n\n\n\n";
[download]

and all I get is Return 00 and the normal filehandle printout. How exactly do I efficiently print out the returns from the check_hostkey command.? I'm cultivating laziness. :-)

If the remote host key is good enough for the given policy, the method returns a true value. Otherwise it returns `undef` and the `error` (or `die_with_error`) method can be used to find out the failure cause. `$ssh2->check_hostkey(LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ASK) or $ssh2->die_with_error;` [download] The 0-but-true value `00` is equal to `LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_MATCH`.

The 0-but-true value 00 is equal to LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_MATCH. That's good isn't it? :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. ..... an animated JAPH	[reply]
