in reply to SFTP connection failure with Perl “Net::SFTP” module

Hello Michaels,

I would suggest to comment out the identity_files and also password. Simply do this:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::SFTP;

my $host = '127.0.0.1';
my %args = ( user     => 'user',
         ssh_args => [ port => "10022" ] );

my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host, %args);
my $ls = $sftp->ls('/sample/path');
print "$_->{filename}\n" for (@$ls);

[download]

I would also suggest to use the module Net::SFTP::Foreign. You can find more information as to why on a previoudly asked question Re: Using Net::SFTP.

Hope this helps, BR.

    Thank you thanos1983! But how can I point to the private key file if I'll remove 'identity_files'? BR, Michael

      Hello Michaels,

      If you do not use default path of you SSH keys then you can use the option identity_files but you need to remove the password.

      Let me know if it works for you.

        Hi thanos, I removed the password as you suggested but it still trying to login with password before using the private key: 
        my %args = (
     user => "$user",
     port => "$port",
     key_path => 'path/sftp_download',
     ssh_args => {
         user => "$user",
         identity_files => [ 'path/sftp_download'],
         port => "$port",
         protocol=>'2,1',
         debug => 1,
     }
);

my $sftp=Net::SFTP->new($server, %args) or die "could not open connect
+ion to $server\n";
