in reply to NET SFTP disconnects

Hi Salva Thanks for that I asked a client for a copy of the script to see if they had amended it and found they had changed the following line after you pointed out the 10 seconds timeout also its using a password not a public key! I'm hoping that will solve the issue # attempt connecton to SFTP site #$sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new( $username . '@' . $sftpServer, timeout => 60, password => $password); $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new( $username . '@' . $sftpServer, timeout => 10, more => -o => 'PreferredAuthentications=publickey');

    Hello DesmondL,

    Welcome to the Monastery. I am not the expert here (far from that), fellow Monk salva is. If I am not mistaken he also is the author of the package Net::SFTP::Foreign.

    Having said that, I would propose to modify the script with the following part:

    my %args = ( host     => "localhost",
         user     => "user",
         port     => "22",
         # psw    => "psw",
         more => [qw(-o PreferredAuthentications=publickey)],
         key_path => "/home/user/.ssh/id_rsa" );

my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(%args);
$sftp->die_on_error("Unable to establish SFTP connection");

    Modify the parameters to your needs.

    Hope this helps, BR
