I will try the development version tomorrow and then wait for the full version. I will let you know how I get on!

Thank you for your help, and a great Module!!!

I have downloaded the new version of the module, but I am still having problems.

With the changes, Expect doesn’t seem to be getting the Password prompt. The connection hangs for the timeout value and then returns "Password not requested as expected: 0".

Any ideas as to why this could be? Its probably me being stupid but I have hit a wall again with my investigation.

Thanks for your help!

try setting the expect_log_user option on the constructor call to see the Expect interaction. And also run ssh with the verbose flag:

my $s=Net::SFTP::Foreign->new( 'foo@bar',
                               password=>'...',
                               expect_log_user => 1,
                               timeout => 8,
                               more => '-v' );

die $sftp->error if $sftp->error;

And BTW, is the remote system accessible from the Internet so I can run some tests against it?

I will try that in the morning. Unfortunately the machines I am using are not internet facing and I don’t have access to a HPUX machine on the net :(

I have managed to get the transfers working with 1.36 by setting the block_size to 483 and the queue_size to 1 as discussed in the bug report. It is however much slower than when running interactively.

I will send some more debug in the morning. Thank you again for all your help!
