hi thanos I'm interested in replicating this. Could $host be a remote website with which I currently use sftp?

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use 5.011;
use Net::SFTP::Foreign;

my $upload_file = shift;

my %vars = (

  server_dir   => 'perlmonks/scripts/',
  image_dir    => 'pmimage',
);


my $rvars = \%vars;
say Dumper $rvars;
my $sftp = get_tiny();
my $server_dir = $vars{"server_dir"};
$sftp->mkdir("/$server_dir")  or warn "mkdir1 failed $!\n";
$sftp->setcwd("/$server_dir") or warn "setcwd1 failed $!\n";
$sftp->put($upload_file)        or warn "upload put failed $!\n";
$sftp->ls($server_dir) or warn "can't ls $!\n";


say "return is $sftp";
undef $sftp;

sub get_tiny {

  use 5.011;
  use warnings;
  use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
  use Config::Tiny;
  use Data::Dumper;

  my $ini_path = qw( /home/bob/Documents/html_template_data/3.values.i
+ni );
  say "ini path is $ini_path";

  my $sub_hash = "my_sftp";
  my $Config   = Config::Tiny->new;
  $Config = Config::Tiny->read( $ini_path, 'utf8' );
  say Dumper $Config;
  # -> is optional between brackets
  my $domain   = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'domain'};
  my $username = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'username'};
  my $password = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'password'};
  my $port     = $Config->{$sub_hash}{'port'};

  #dial up the server

  say "values are $domain $username $password $port";
  my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(
    $domain,
    user     => $username,
    port     => $port,
    password => $password
  ) or die "Can't connect: $!\n";
  return $sftp;
}

This is what I've been using to try to start up a conversation with a remote server and it's either not the right thing or I don't know how to script it. I looked at your repo. Can you say a few words as to what a Snippet is? Thanks,
