In looking at those messages, it appears you are getting a connection and getting authenticated with SSH, but the remote host is not starting the session shell properly. Confirm all the settings with the remote host admin and have them check to make sure their server is up an responding (and allowing logins to start correctly). It could also be a permissions issue on the remote host if you don't have the appropriate permisions to the login directory, you might not be able to get in to the site even though you can authenticate properly.

does command line `scp` work? Run a couple of tests using `scp` and `sftp` commands with the verbose flag (`-v`) and post here the output.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

scp generates: exec: cp: Not Found Is that cos I'm using windows - searching the web makes it look like these are unix commands that I don't have installed?	[reply]

Ok, the saga continues... This is the information I have back from the client: 'We restrict external logins to sftp connections only and chroot the users into their home directories, i.e. you don�t see �/home/mediatech� when you log in, you just see �/�. Now the problem arises when you are chrooted, in this case the command line sftp won�t connect, when you are not chrooted command line sftp works fine. Unfortunately this server is shared with other external customers so it is considered good practice to have all accounts chrooted. I can�t find anything about why this is the case or how to fix it but I have found that psftp (command line sftp that comes with Putty) works. As far as I can see psftp is a generic command line sftp client that does everything Openssh sftp does. I assume that it would integrate into Perl scripts exactly the same as sftp would.' So my question is - Can I get Net::SFTP::Foreign to work with Putty psftp? If not is there another module I could use? Thanks	[reply]

That means that SFTP has been forbidden in the remote host configuration. But as you have said that FileZilla works, maybe they are allowing scp, so just try it!	[reply]
