<delurk> Have you ssh'd to the box before? It might be hanging on the key-cache query (yes/no)... Also, if you have access to the box, you might think about using keyfiles to streamline the process and it your password wouldn't have to be in the script... I've always had better luck with system calls to scp using null-passphrase keys myself... </delurk>	[reply]

I have set auto_yes = 1. So, I don't think its really the problem. - Swaroop	[reply]

Hi, Looks like you inverted the options on "$scpe->scp(..)". Try the following: `use strict; use warnings; use IO::Pty; use Net::SCP::Expect; my $scpe = Net::SCP::Expect->new; $scpe->host("servera"); $scpe->login("swaroop","xxxxx"); $scpe->auto_yes("1"); $scpe->scp('testfile','servera:/tmp/testfile');` [download] If this doesn't work. Check if "testfile" exists. Or specify the full path of it (like /home/xx/testfile). Also check if "servera" is being resolved correctly (or use its IP Address instead). If none of this work, you should get an error message from this module explaining (enable debug)... -DCB	[reply] [d/l]
