Re: Net::SCP::Expect wierdness

Maybe the internal timer used by Net::SCP::Expect is reset every time something arrives through the tty. Have you tried increasing the timeout value?

Alternatively, try using Net::SSH2 or transferring the file via SFTP with Net::SFTP::Foreign.

Yes I did to ridiculous values. 900 seconds? really? Still didn't work for me. <ul transferring the file via SFTP with Net::SFTP::Foreign. Tried that too and it did not work for all the hosts I have to do transfers to. This problem is driving me nuts... and I'm already close enough to walk. Peter L.

Are you able to transfer the files using `scp` from the command line with the `-q` flag set? Have you tried upgrading your client machine to the latest version of OpenSSH? What are exactly the kind of problems you see when using SFTP? Is it disabled in some host?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
