Re: using sftp to get file information for processing

This part of your code works here:

[2005]tom@margo ~ $ perl
use Net::SFTP;
use Net::SFTP::Attributes;
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new('test2.dievision', user => 'MYNAME', passwor
+d => 'MYPASSWORD', debug => 1);
$sftp->ls('/(some/dir', sub {print STDERR "$_[0]->{filename}\n"});
1;
[download]

I get a whole lot of debug information, and the file-listing as expected. Changing the anonymous sub to:

$sftp->ls('/some/dir', sub {my $attrs = $sftp->do_stat($_[0]->{filenam
+e});
        print STDERR $_[0]->{filename}, " ", $attrs->gid, " ", $attrs-
+>size, "\n"});
[download]

resulted in correct answers as to gid and size; are you sure the connection is working correctly?

Thanks everyone for the input. I was able to get it working very well. The only outstanding issue is the ability to capture the result of the sftp->get command. It doesn't appear to give a return code and I don't know what all the possible textual responses are from this command. Does anyone have any ideas? Just for your viewing, here is the code now. Ignore the junk around the get. I just haven't cleaned up stuff that doesn't work (but doesn't hurt). Read more... (7 kB) Thanks, Jim	[reply] [d/l]
