Need to send a file after I run a nightly cron to another server via SFTP/SSH. After doing a lot of reading here and other places I decided to forgo Net::SSH2 or Net::SFTP or Net::OpenSSH and went with: Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2

It seems debug does not work. Anyway, I get a disconnect error at ->auth_password(). But, I can use Eclipse via ssh and sftp and login, I can use Winscp as well with the same credentials, so I know they are correct.

I am on - Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS and I have OpenSSH_5.9p1 Debian-5ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012 


%connection_details = (  
    host => '<IP>',
    user => '<USER>',
    pass => '<PASS>',
    port => '<PORT>',
);
  
$SFTP = &SFTP_connection(%connection_details);
  
exit (0);

sub SFTP_connection {
    my (%connection_info) = @_;
    
    use Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2 qw(:supplant);
    
    use Net::SSH2;

    eval { require Net::SSH2; };
    if ($@) {
        print "The Net::SSH2 or Net::OpenSSH::Compat::SSH2 Perl module
+ is not installed on this server, which is required for this feature.
+\n
               Please contact your server administrator and ask them t
+o install this module.\n";
        return 0;
    }
    
    ## Connect to the sFTP server    
    my $SFTP = Net::SSH2->new();
    
    $SFTP->connect($connection_info{'host'},22)
        or die "Unable to connect to the remote sFTP server \n\n $@";
    
    ## Login to sFTP server
    $SFTP->auth_password($connection_info{'user'},$connection_info{'pa
+ss'}) 
        or die "Unable to login Check username and password. \n\n $@\n
+";
    
    return $SFTP;
}
