I see, probably what is happening is that they are expecting you to use the old SSH version 1 approach for launching the SFTP server on the remote side. Just to test that this is the case, what happens if you run these commands...? `plink remoteHost -p remotePort -v sftp-server plink remoteHost -p remotePort -v /usr/lib/sftp-server` [download] Does anyone of them hangs (that means that the sftp-server is listening) instead of exiting with an error? Once you find how to launch the remote sftp-server, tell Net::SFTP::Foreign to use the same command with the open2_cmd constructor option. For instance: `my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new(open2_cmd => "plink $host -p $port +/usr/lib/sftp-server"); $sftp->error and die "SFTP connection failed: " . $sftp->error;` [download] update: and BTW, I think the root of the problem is an incomplete chroot'ed configuration for sshd in the remote side. Probably, they have not configured sshd to use internal-sftp server for the SFTP subsystem. Ask them to check that the sshd_config file contains the following line: `Subsystem sftp internal-sftp` [download] (a how-to: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I can get 'plink' to connect and hang up to this point: Offered public key Offer of public key accepted Authenticating with public key "rsa-key-20081029" Access granted Opened channel for session Allocated pty (ospeed 38400bps, ispeed 38400bps Started a shell/command ..and when I break out of it I get: Sent EOF message ^C So it looks like that works However, when I put the same syntax into Net::SFTP::Foreign, after the shell starts, I get: Server exited on signal "INT" Disconnected: All channels closed Are we getting closer?

Post here the full plink command you are using. Also, set... `$Net::SFTP::Foreign::debug = -1;` [download] in your script, before the constructor call, and post here the output you get.	[reply] [d/l]

so, it seems to be working! Are you doing anything else in your script, besides calling the constructor? Which version of Net::SFTP::Foreign are you using? I am missing some information in the debugging output...	[reply]
Re^6: Help Required - Problem Automating SFTP by Kraythorne (Sexton) on Jan 30, 2009 at 13:56 UTC
Version 1.46 Yep, just calling the constructor at the mo, I need to get into how the module works a bit more now I know it's working! ...a nice bit of code. Thanks!! By the way, is there a 'move' method in Net::SFTP::Foreign module so that you can move files from one directory on the FTP site to another?	[reply]
