Re: My Perl/Expect script aborts when sftp connection stalls at remote destination

You might want to look at Net::ssh2 timeout and look at syphilis's reply about setting the poll(0). Net::SSH2 does sftp. Possibly, you could find how to set the poll() from your script.

Upon looking thru the Net::SSH2 docs for clues, it seems a timeout value for the connection gets set

connect ( handle | host [, port [, Timeout => secs ]] )

Since sftp uses ssh2 libs, there probably is some arcane way of you setting the ssh2 options from sftp. Or do like the rest of the modern world, and move up to Net::SSH2.

Net::SSH2 does sftp Only in a rather limited way! Net::SSH2 implements the low level methods defined in the SFTP draft but lacks the most useful methods you could expect from an SFTP client (i.e. get or put). Writting these methods yourself from the protocol primitives in an efficient manner is very hard.	[reply]
