in reply to SFTP Issue

This worked for me:

#!/usr/bin/perl

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

my $host   = 'localhost';
my $remote = '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/SFTP.pm';
my $local  = '/path/to/Desktop';
my %args   = ( user     => 'someuser', 
               password => 'somepassword',
               debug    => 1
);

my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);
$sftp->get($remote, [$local]);

    i used your code , still i am getting the same error, the only modification is i gave the password as '' (null).

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

my $host   = '217.154.215.76';
my $remote = '/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Net/SFTP.pm';
my $local  = '/path/to/Desktop';
my %args   = ( user     => 'username',
               password => '',
               debug    => 1
);

my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);
#$sftp->get($remote, [$local]);

    the error
    Permission denied at //pkgs/linux/intel/perl/5.8.0/lib/site_perl/5.8.0/Net/SFTP.pm line 62

    In the sftp.pm code, line 62 it corresponds to login , will it not login with null password.

      I tried it with null password and got permission denied. I tried it without password and got the same thing. It seems to want a password---so try that.

        Khen , Thanks for your reply , actually we are connecting to a vendor for few files , So is it that we need to ask the vendor for passwords to be set for our account.

        if password is set for our account , then will it use the publick keys?

        Also in the NET::SFTP module in SFTP they have mentioned under "password " as "if you use public key authentication, this argument is unused" .
