Hey Monks,
Just installed F-Secures SSH service on a Windows 2000 server.
I am trying to run a simple "dir" and retrieve the output.

Here's what I have so far.
The Code:

#!d:/perl -w
use strict;
use Net::SSH::W32Perl;

my ($ipaddr,$userid,$passwd) = ("<ipaddress>","<userid>","<password>")
+;
my $cmd = "dir";

my $ssh = Net::SSH::W32Perl->new("$ipaddr", protocol => '2,1',debug =>
+ 1);
my ($out, $err, $exit,$msg);
$ssh->login("$userid","$passwd");
($out, $err, $exit) = $ssh->cmd("$cmd");
print $out. $err. $exit."\n";
close $ssh;

The output with debugging on:

After the channel 1 is open the script hangs. I have run
this against the Windows install and Linux server with
OPENSSH 3.0 install. Same problem. Sorry, this looks
like an easy one. Read all the docs and online info. No Luck so far...Go easy on the initiate :)

A nudge in the right direction is appreciated
