Re: FTP vs. SFTP and perl v5.6.1

    Ummm... yes.

    Why would you think that you would not be able to use it?

    As an aside, using Net::Sftp is a much better idea than using Net::Ftp wherever possible. FTP employs plain-text authentication, which is inherently very insecure. The entire session is encrypted over an Sftp connection (it is part of ssh) and hence is quite secure.

    Hi,

    Have you tried to use Net::SFTP? Are you getting any error messages?

    If you are unsure how to install modules read A Guide to Installing Modules from the tutorials section of this site.

    Also I notice that this is your first post (as a registered user).
    I think it would be worth while having a read at the PerlMonks FAQ if you have not already done so.

    Hope this helps

    Martin

    It's Perl, not PERL. Perl is not an acronym.

    It's Net::FTP, not NET::FTP, and it's Net::SFTP, not NET::SFTP. Module names are case sensitive.

    Questions are supposed to end in question marks.

    What happens if you TRY?
