in reply to Net::SFTP Problem

You should try Net::SFTP::Foreign. It's a fork of Net::SFTP that uses the native ssh binary to stablish the connection with the remote host instead of Net::SSH::Perl.

    Hi Salva,

    I tried Net::SFTP::Foreign Modeule in my program. in this case I am using this code...
    ##############################
#! usr/bin/perl
use Net::SFTP::Foreign;

$host="myserver";
$username="vendor1";
$portnumber=22;

%args={port => $portnumber ,host =>$host ,user => $username ,debug => 
+1};

my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($host,%args);
@str=$sftp->ls("/home/vendor1/");

foreach $hashref(@str)
{
    foreach $key(keys%$hashref)
    {
        print "\t $$hashref{$key}\t";
    }
    print "\n";
}
#########################

    Now as both vendor1 and vendor2 are users on the same server which i dont think makes any difference,but now I am getting password prompt for vendor2...

    + perl sftp.pl
vendor2@9.182.244.13's password:

    [download]
    ...which i think i should not get. The output should be the output of "ls" command..
    can you suggest some solution...
    Thanx

      oh, I thought you were using ssh keys for authentication instead of the login and clear password aproach not supported by that Net::SFTP::Foreign.

      Is there any reason why you are not using public keys for authentication?

        Hi Salva,
        I have to use ssh keys authentication but i am not aware of the method to use it in my code. Can you Please suggest what steps do i require to modify my previous code to use ssh keys authentication. I have OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 and OpenSSL 0.9.7d installed on AIX box.
        Thanx in advance
        Zoop
