My first guess would be that you are first changing to 'test/out' then trying to retrieve 'test/out/file'. It seems unlikely that there exists 'test/out/test/out/file'. I would try either not changing directories or just get 'file'. I am testing to see if I can reproduce, but that sounds the most likely.

UPDATE 1: Nevermind all that. I see now that you get a $sftp object and do the opendir on that, then return to $ssh2->scp_get. However, having said that, in my test environment, I get a core dump when I scp_get so I will need to find another test environment.

UPDATE 2: I have tried it on a 32bit arch instead of 64bit and it doesn't core dump. And, even better, it works fine to transfer the file. I copied your script and just changed $host, $user and $password and copied a test file in '~/test/out/' to 'aaa.txt'.

Does it appear that it is getting the sftp handle that isn't working, or the scp_get?

Can you SFTP and scp the files with the normal commands, not using perl?

Can you try it with debug enabled?

Maybe try this?

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use Net::SSH2;

my $host = '';
my $user = '';
my $password = '';

my $ssh2 = Net::SSH2->new();

$ssh2->debug(1);

print "\nconnecting to $host...\n";
$ssh2->connect($host) or die $ssh2->error;

print "\nauth to $host...\n";
$ssh2->auth_password($user,$password) or die $ssh2->error;

printf "Auth OK: %s\n", $ssh2->auth_ok;

print "scp get\n";
$ssh2->scp_get("test/out/Tesia220044-20081029175508-03.txt") or die $s
+sh2->error;

$ssh2->disconnect();
