Change to the Host directory in SFTP using Perl Script

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am very new to Perl scripting. I am trying to do SFTP using Perl Script and able to login into Host machine using perl script. But when I try changing the directory on Host machine its not do it. Here are the commands I used,

$ftp=Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($host,%args) or $newerr=1;
$ftp->setcwd($hostgetdir) or $newerr=1;
print
"===================\n",
getcwd(), "\n",
"Done!\n",
"===================\n";

This is changing it to local directory but not on the Host Machine. Please help what command i have to use.

Regards
Sudeep

Where in the code you show do you set `$hostgetdir`? Also, `getcwd()` will only ever show the local directory and never the remote directory. See Net::SFTP::Foreign for the `->cwd` method to find the current working directory of the remote session.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
