Re: sftp on windows

Check that the bin directory where your sftp.exe is located, is in your path.  If it is, then you should be able to type sftp by itself to see if you get the list of commandline options back.  If you don't, then do a search on you hard drive for the cygwin.dll file.  If you have more than one, make sure only the one supplied with copSSH is in you path.

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.

	So, yes.  you can do it this way.  Though, I must wonder if the copSSH install failed to install correctly, or if it was installed under a different username, because mine works fine, as seen here:
	 
	H:\welsh>sftp welsh@alpha1

	What concerns me is the way the error is being returned.  Are you running this from inside a BASH or other unix/cygwin based shell, or from the windows command prompt?  When running under windows, you need to provide the windows path, not the unix/linux type of path.


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.

		I wrote a perl script that uses Net::SFTP to connect to a server and upload files. This is done on a Windows system that required openSSH to be installed because the perl script used the 'sftp ' command in the command prompt to login to the server. I have been told by others that openssh for windows is not maintained anymore and I should be using copssh. My question is if copssh can do the same thing as OpenSSH, meaning that at the command prompt I can enter 'sftp ' and the terminal will connect? This is very important to my perl script. If it can how can I set it up? I noticed that there is a sftp.exe in the folder copSSH\bin, who do I make the file run when I type in 'sftp' from anywhere in the terminal window? Also, can I log in by typing "sftp [email protected]" in the window cause when I tried that ( after navigating to copSSH\bin and running the exe) I get the error 'exec: /usr
 /bin/ssh: No such file or directory'.
