Net::SFTP on WINDOWS

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

Hi guys,

I am trying to install Net::SFTP on windows. I read SFTP hands (winxp) but it seems the download side is no longer available.

There is Net::SFTP::Foreign module for ppm, but I would like to use Net::SFTP.

ppm> search SFTP
Searching in Active Repositories
  1. LWP-Protocol-sftp [0.01] adds SFTP support to LWP
  2. LWP-Protocol-sftp [0.01] adds SFTP support to LWP
  3. Net-SFTP-Foreign  [0.53] Secure File Transfer Protocol client
  4. Net-SFTP-Foreign  [0.53] Secure File Transfer Protocol client
  5. URI-sftp          [0.01] adds support for 'sftp:' schemes to URI 
+package
  6. URI-sftp          [0.01] adds support for 'sftp:' schemes to URI 
+package
ppm>
[download]

The module from CPAN for some reason does not install on my Windows. I hope there is a ppm version for Net::SFTP. Does anyone know?

Cheers,
HJ

Hi, read holllis excellent tutorial. It also covers how to install PPD::Repositories which adds all known repositories. Then you should be able to find a ppm. Regards, svenXY	[reply]
