in thread Problem with Net::SCP::Expect

The auto_quote thing didn't work :(

I'm on RHEL 3 and there isn't a libssh2 package for Net::SSH2

I'm trying Net::OpenSSH now. However it is complaining:

"ssh: illegal option -- M"

Any suggestions?

    Try running the script with strace to see how it calls the scp program.

    That probably means that the version of OpenSSH installed on the machine is too old for Net::OpenSSH. It requires OpenSSH 4.1 or later (5.1 is recommended).

    update: BTW, could you use SFTP instead of SCP?

      I finally gave up and went with crafting the right scp command and using the system command to run it. Probably not the right thing to do, but it is working. If someone gives me a good reason why this is a horrible plan, I'll give SFTP a try. Update: Yes I had to set the boxes up to scp without a password.
