Re: help with making an sftp connection

 More detail, thanks for your time...

This is to test the Perl script on a local (Linux) system, copying a file from /tmp to another directory.

I can use command line sftp to copy a file fine with the user/password connection, so there is not a problem with sftp, user/password etc on the system.

This Perl script executes without error, but hangs on $sftp = Net::... (prints start, never prints done) 

If I take out the password assignment, I'm prompted for a password and it then works fine. With it there, it hangs. 

Can anyone help me get this working with a password passed as a parameter?

use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
use IO::Pty;
use feature say;

$host = "127.0.0.1";
$user = "baw";
$pass = "......";

say "start";

$sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($host,
                    user => $user,
                    password => $pass,
                        more => [qw(-o PreferredAuthentications=password -o PasswordAuthentication=yes -o BatchMode=yes)]
    );

say "done";
