SFTP on Solaris 2.7

ChipmunkCHeeks has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have updated to the latest version of Net::SFTP 0.09, also updating Net::SSH::Perl to 1.28. This includes any prerequisites needed for succesful builds & test. I configured Net::SSH::Perl with both SSH1 & SSH2 and using Blowfish for encrytion.

When I issue the following commands:

%args = (user => $serverId, password => $serverPass);
$sftp = Net::SFTP->new($serverName, %args);
[download]

with $serverId & $serverPass defined, I get:

Permission denied at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Net/SFTP.pm 
+line 62
[download]

I can login successfully to sftp via command line.
Any clues would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Check your user and pass, line 62 is where is tries to auth against the server -- and you are getting a permission denied. -Waswas	[reply]

I know that the SSH protocol defaults to 3des for encryption, if you are using blowfish by default, you may have to set that in the ssh_config. Net::SFTP passes that list into the Net::SSH::Perl sub that makes the connection; `# UNTESTED my %args = ( 'user' => $serverId, 'password' => $serverPass, 'ssh_args' => { 'cipher' => 'blowfish, }, ); my $stfp = Net::SFTP->new( $serverName, %args );` [download] Update: ssh_config s/b ssh_args You could also set the debug values for better messages; `my %args = ( 'user' => $serverId, 'password' => $serverPass, 'debug' => 1, ); my $stfp = Net::SFTP->new( $serverName, %args );` [download] Don WHITEPAGES.COM \| INC _ Edit by castaway: Closed small tag in signature	[reply] [d/l] [select]

if you can use public/private pairs of keys instead of user/login for authentication, try Net::SFTP::Foreign. It uses the native ssh binary to stablish the connection to the server instead of Net::SSH::Perl and so it is more robust and doesn't require a bunch of additional modules to work.	[reply]
