Hi zentara,

Thanks a lot for your aswer, but i wonder things can be slow... yes... but why can't i control the flow of the program ???

The program could be trying to access the ssh server, and at a point the ssh server would give up, but how can one control this ??? i don't want my backup program to "crash" i want him to report something to the user.

Any way I'm going to check ssh2 again THANKS !

Is it just me or does anyone feel that the Net::SFTP module is not stable work ??
