Hi PerlMonks, I have the following code which gets a list of the '$dir' using Net::FTP. 

 
my $ls;
    @{$ls} = $ftp->dir();
    if (!@{$ls}) {
        print "Unable to list files in ftp://$host/$dir\n";
        logError ("Unable to list files in ftp://$host/$dir");
        return undef;
    }
    print Dumper($ls);

this produces the following output using Dumper 

$VAR1 = [
          '-rw-------    1 ftp      ftp          4037 Oct 04 16:15 1.j
+pg',
          '-rw-------    1 ftp      ftp         10209 Oct 04 16:15 2.p
+ng',
          '-rw-------    1 ftp      ftp          1314 Oct 03 10:59 3.g
+if'
        ];

I want the same output when I try getting the list of '$dir' when using the Net::SFTP::Foreign method. I can't seem to get it working. I've tried the following. 

my $ls;
    $ls = $sftp->ls()
    or die "unable to retrieve directory: ".$sftp->error;
    if (!$ls) {
        print "Unable to list files in sftp://$host/$dir\n";
        logError ("Unable to list files in sftp://$host/$dir");
        return undef;
    }
    $ls = $_->{longname} for @$ls;
    print Dumper($ls);

Output is... 

$VAR1 = [
          'drwx--S---    2 pgpftp  pgpftp       4096 Oct  5 11:06 .'
        ];

this should be showing something like the following 

$VAR1 = [
          'drwx--S---    2 pgpftp  pgpftp       4096 Oct  5 11:06 tst1
+.jpg',
          'drwx--S---    2 pgpftp  pgpftp       4096 Oct  5 11:06 tst2
+.jpg',
          'drwx--S---    2 pgpftp  pgpftp       4096 Oct  5 11:06 tst3
+.jpg'
        ];

Anyone, any ideas where i'm screwing up

Cheers!
