I am making use of Net::SFTP::Foreign for downloading files from a remote server, in a perl script which runs as a daemon. It seems to be working on and off. Few times it can successfully download the files but few times it errors off, with the below error message - 

debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssa
+pi-with-mic,password
debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,gssapi-keyex,gss

I am making use of password authentication. 

   my $sftp_obj = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new (
                        $host,
                        timeout         => 3600,
                        ssh_cmd         => "/usr/bin/ssh",
                        user            => $username,
                        password        => $passwd,
                        port            => 22,
                        autodisconnect  => 0,
                        more            => ['-vvv',
                        -o => 'StrictHostKeyChecking no'],
        );
