Re^2: help with Net::SFTP

I made the changes as you suggested, the new code follows:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SFTP;

my $SFTPSite = 'sftp.xxxxbroker' ;
my $userid = 'fred';
my $pword =  'bedrock';

my $entry = undef;

#**  **  **  **  **  **  **  ** 
# Setup to do the SFTP
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new( $SFTPSite, $userid, $pword ) or 
                 die "Could NOT create SFTP "  ;     #Net::SFTP  const
+ructor


my @entries = $sftp->ls('/');       # slurp all entries into an array
  
foreach  $entry (@entries) {  
    print  "$entry    \n";
    chomp $entry;
    my @fields = split /\s+/, $entry;
    print "the file name: " .  $fields[-1] . "\n";
        
}

the following error message resulted from the above code.

C:\dev\FTPPerl>perl testSFTP.pl The getpwuid function is unimplemented at c:/progFiles/PERL/site/lib/Net/SSH/Perl.pm line 110.

I belive that I an missing something to support Net::SFTP. Maybe I have an old version of Net:SSH But do not know how to figure that out.
As per the ActiveState Perl Package Manager I have the following SSH stuff installed:
Net-SSH 0.08
Net-SSH-Perl 1.30
Net-SSH-W32-Perl .05

thanks for your assistance.

Looks like a deficiency in the Net::SSH::Perl or Net::SSH::W32Perl modules rather than a missing module. getpwuid doesn't exist on Win32, but Net::SSH::Perl is trying to call it. I wonder if Net::SSH::W32Perl is supposed to be some kind of helper to get around that. Perhaps try the example in the Net::SSH::W32Perl to see if it works by itself? Or take the easy-ugly-fast way and use system to shell out to a command line sftp client. non-Perl: read my music blog be my fan at Reverbnation	[reply]

thanks for your reply. As I suspected, this is a configuration or compatibility issue. Do any of the other kind monks have any ideas? Has anybody gotten SFTP to work under wondows? kd	[reply]

if Net::SFTP doesn't work for you, try using Net::SFTP::Foreign or Net::SSH2 instead.	[reply]
