in thread Help with Net::SSH

I originally tried using Net::SSH::Perl, but I found it difficult to install because of all the prereqs for Crypt::RSA. I'll give it another try because it sounds like it will be easier.

Thanks,

Dru

    Crypt::RSA is completely optional, don't worry about it if you don't have it. It's only used for RSA support in SSH-2 (SSH-1 RSA is built in to Net::SSH::Perl), and odds are you're probably not using RSA in SSH-2.

    Also, the list of prereqs depends completely on what protocol you'll be using. If you're using SSH-1 only, your list of prereqs is pretty short, and should be fairly simple to install.

    If you're using SSH-2, the list of prereqs is longer, but it's still pretty easy, at least on a *nix system. Windows is a little trickier. Which are you running on?

    If you're having trouble using Net::SSH::Perl, feel free to email me.
