This does not come up when I type 'sftp in the cmd prompt. Because the perl
script I am using does not allow for me to edit the options in the sftp
command I need to be able to type "sftp [email protected]" in order for
the script to work.

I am running this from inside the windows command prompt. Because the perl
script I am using does not allow for me to edit the options in the sftp
command I need to be able to type "sftp [email protected]" in order for
the script to work. IOW i cant specify the the windows path.

I tried to reinstall copSSH only to have the same results.
