RE: SFTP Doubts

Thanks Jenda.

I have one more question related to SFTP get method failure.
Following is the code I'm using to transfer the files across machines using
SFTP.
But somehow my Get method is failing though I can see the file downloaded
from remote 
machine on client.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::SFTP;

my $host = 'xx.yy.zz.aa';
my %args = (
       "user",         'root',
       "password",     'pass123'
);
my $remoteFilename = '/var/opt/mydata/remote.txt';
my $localFilename = '/root/Test/local.txt';
my $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($host,%args);
 
print (" Got connected to host");
 
if(!($sftp->get($remoteFilename,$localFilename)) )
{
     my $err = $sftp->status();
     print (" Get failed ");
}
 
What might be the reason behind this method failure?

Thanks in advance.

Most likely because the authors believed everyone should use some kind of
Unix anyway.

For login it depends a bit on the module used, I ended up using Net::SSH2,
cause I could not get Net::SFTP working under Windows. 
There you first create an SSH2 object, authenticate that and then ask it for
a SFTP object.

There is no ascii/binary in SFTP as far as I know.

Depends on the module.

> 4. how to delete the SFTP object created by New method?

undef($obj); ?
