Hello.

In moving some scripts between some HP-UX platforms, old 11.23 and new 11.31, I am once again facing SFTP problems.

I have a handful of scripts which need to do a simple file transfer using SFTP, password mode.

As I understand it, my options are to try to compile NET:SFTP with many and difficult dependencies. A multi-day world of pain for these machines without internet access. (Am I overstating it?)

Or, I thought I had found relief by using Net::SFTP::Foreign! But, it uses pseudo terminals and our security scanning package (CIS-CAT) frowns on pseudo terminals.

Is there a third way?

===================

Nevermind!

The HP-UX ptydaemon is not pseudo terminals and the IO::Pty package was easy to install.

If a little abasement here would make all my troubles go away, I'm glad to do it.
