in thread SFTP Issue

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" .

    Check with your vendor concerning auth methods. In my case, my vendors gave me a password when I registered, so I use passwords to connect. Also, if you are using public keys, then yes, Net::SFTP will ignore the password and use public keys, if it is set up correctly.
