Dear Monks, New Year wishes.

I need to download files to one location and upload files from another location to a specified path in SFTP. I am using windows OS and i tried with Perl module Net::SFTP but it doesn't works for me. I used the below code to connect the SFTP server but i failed with this. Kindly help me to connect the SFTP server.

use strict;
use Net::SFTP;

my $host = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";

my %args = (
user => 'username',
password => 'password',
debug => 'false'
);

my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);
print "connected!";

[download]

This is the error i got from the script. "Can't map service name 'ssh' to port number at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/SFTP.pm line 61"
