Net::SFTP error

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

Hey monks,
I am new at using Net::SFTP, I am just trying to get the basics down. I have varified that I can connect to this host and port number using a windows sftp client called "WinSCP3". I really can't figure out why I get this error when I try to connect to the host computer:

Can't set socket non-blocking: Bad file descriptor at C:/Perl/site/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 213, <GEN0> line 1.

here is my code:

use Net::SFTP;
my $host = "cib-xcluster.biotec.usu.edu";
my %args = (
    user     => 'user',
    password => 'pass',
    debug    => 0,
    protocol => '1,2',
    port     => '22',
);
print "connecting to $host . . .\n";
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);
print "Finished\n";

Any help would be really appreciated.

use warnings; use strict; debug => 1 protocol and port are not valid args, read the docs You might do well to read through the example that ships with the module. (snippet follows) `my %args = (ssh_args => []); $args{debug} = 1 if $opts{v}; push @{ $args{ssh_args} }, compression => 1 if $opts{C}; print "Connecting to $host...\n"; my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);` [download] The intelligent reader will judge for himself.

Your error message means what it says: Bad file descriptor <GEN0>. That's not part of the code you posted, but I'm not sure if it's coming from your code or from a module. Did you run the posted snippet and get that error? Oh, and use strict;.	[reply]
