in thread Net SSH problems

On my system, there's a limit of 32768. This will explain it better than I can. As I understand it, you can reset the limit.

    Well, its an intresting theory, but as I understand it, this is standard input we are passing (the content of a file or stream). while this limit refers to the number of bytes in the command line arguments, which is a different thing. And it figures, after all, 32k is a great deal of command line argument, but a very small file.

    So if this was the answer I would have to say thats a design fault, the contents of a file should not be passwed on the command line.

    But it does rather confirm that you are seeing the same problem as I am.

      I get the same. For a simplistic workaround, instead of 
      $chan->write("$intext\n");
$chan->send_eof();

      do 
      while (length $intext > 32767) {
  $chan->write(substr($intext, 0, 32768, ''));
}
$chan->write("$intext\n");
$chan->send_eof();

      [download]
      Doing that, I then get: 
      ssh created
ssh connected
cmd is wc
intext length is 100000
      1       1  100001
remote exit status is 0 bytes returned is 24 bytes
