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

      well, you have to do nothing.

      Are you able to connect from the source to the target machine manually with ssh? ensure that you check it as the same user as the one that runs the script.

      Oh, I see what the problem is: 

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

      is wrong, you have to write it as 
      %args=(port => $portnumber ,host =>$host ,user => $username ,debug => 
+1);

      [download]
      using (...) instead of {...}

      BTW, you would have already noticed it if you were using 

      use strict;
use warnings;

      [download]
      on your code!!!!!!!!!
