kprasanna_79 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Revered Monks,

I am trying to use the module Net::SFTP and i am getting the following error.

Error using Net::SFTP,
 
Reading configuration data d://.ssh/config
Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
Connecting to stage.com, port 22.

Also when i try to use the Net::SFTP::Foreign i am getting the following error

sftp: Sending SSH2_FXP_INIT

If any body throws light on this issue will be appreciated

bug

According to the bug report someone had luck with installing Math::BigInt::GMP.

As a note: If you do run into these type of situations with modules, CPAN has somewhat recently added (or made more accessible) some excellent sections. I personally like to check Testing results on different Platforms and Bug Reports, if I run into a problem. Module Discussion Forums are also there but don't seem to be used.

Just a couple of observations. I've noticed that there are some significant incompatibilites between Net::SFTP and Net::SFTP::Foreign. If you look at Net::SFTP, it's built on top of Net::SSH::Perl, which is non-forking. Net::SFTP::Foreign is forking. Also, Net::SFTP allows passwords---Net::SFTP::Foreign doesn't. But the biggest drawback to Net::SFTP::Foreign that I can see is that it isn't compatible with Net::SFTP anymore ( as of version 0.90_13 ).

IIRC I saw the same error message when I tried to use that module a while ago.

My problems where solved when I ppm-installed from the soulcage repository.

That web site seems to be out of operation at the moment. You can still review the cached page on google addressing the problem(s)...

You're going down the right road with Net::SFTP::Foreign. Make sure you have an sftp client loaded locally (I found Cywin's sftp client works fine). Then post some code and we can probably point you in the right direction.
