Re: Short example using IPC::Open2 or IPC::Open3

If it were up to me, I'd skip IPC::Open\d and just do something like:

chomp (my @files = `ssh somehost ls foo`);
for (@files) {
    my $qf = quotemeta;
    system "scp somehost:foo/$qf .";
    system "ssh somehost mv foo/$qf bar/$qf";
}

gamache, You assume that one can SSH to the host. In this case, shell access has been removed. Please don't take this the wrong way but I wouldn't have asked for an example of IPC::Open2 (even if it was the wrong way to do it) if that wasn't what I was interested in. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

No offense taken, but I don't understand how IPC::OpenX is going to help you, if you can't ssh to the machine.	[reply]

gamache, It is possible to set up a machine to allow sftp without ssh. For instance, just set the login shell to /sbin/false. I have sftp access but not ssh. Cheers - L~R Removed analogy to ftp and telnet as it wasn't an accurate comparison.	[reply]
