If I understand correctly, the SSH server is running on Windows and the transfer script (which is running on Linux) obtains the file from the Windows machine using scp_get().
This could mean that the problem is with the SSH server on the Windows machine, and nothing to do with perl at all.
A small example script that demonstrates the problem might help.

I couldn't find any such problem when using a Net::SSH2 script (run on my Windows machine) to scp_put() the file onto my Linux machine. I ran this:
## scp.pl ## use strict; use warnings; use Net::SSH2; die "Usage: perl scp.pl username password" unless @ARGV == 2; my $host = '192.168.0.101'; my $user = $ARGV[0]; my $password = $ARGV[1]; my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new(); $ssh2->debug(1); print "\nconnecting to $host...\n"; $ssh2->connect($host) or die $ssh2->error; print "\nauth to $host...\n"; $ssh2->auth_password($user,$password) or die $ssh2->error; printf "Auth OK: %s\n", $ssh2->auth_ok; print "scp put\n"; my $ret = $ssh2->scp_put("rub'bish.txt", "/home/sisyphus/Downloads/rub'bish.txt"); print "ret: $ret\n"; $ssh2->disconnect();
It transferred rub'bish.txt from the windows machine to the Linux machine just fine.
Unfortunately my Windows machine doesn't have an SSH server so I can't try doing it the "other" way.

Cheers,
Rob
