in reply to Having trouble getting Rex (Remote Execution) module to generate output

So I tracked the problem down to not having SFTP installed on the client server. It's needed in the is_dir function in the Rex::Interface::OpenSSH.pm. The VirtInfo module calls is_dir to determine if a directory exists.

Seems odd I would need SFTP to check if a directory exists. Especially odd there is absolutely no warning is given about this. Overall, the Rex project doesn't seem to be getting maintained and code feels buggy. Unfortunate.
