in thread Net::SSH2 list files

Thanks for replying salva!

The problem I have is that I can't figure out a way to read the entries. I can't use Net::SFTP::Foreign at all since I'm on a windows and cygwin is not responding to my pleading :D Is there some other way to get this information from the opendir command?

    # untested!
my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp;
my $dh = $sftp->opendir($dir);
while (my %entries = $dh->read) {
  print "$_\n" for keys %entries;
}

    BTW, Net::SFTP::Foreign works with ActiveState and Strawberry versions of perl.

      When I run it I just get:

      uid, mode, mtime, name, atime, size, gid, uid

      Over and over again instead of getting the 3 files in the folder I defined :(

      Still thank you for trying!

      Net::SFTP::Foreign needs IO/Pty.pm which is only supported on windows if you run it with cygwin which for me still creates a bunch of problems :(

        Ok, try this one: 
        # untested again!
my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp;
my $dh = $sftp->opendir($dir);
while (my %e = $dh->read) {
  print "$e{name}\n";
}

        Net::SFTP::Foreign does not require IO::Pty when you use it with the Net::SSH2 backend.
