Hi Rob, Yeah, I got all that but unfortunately I need a workaround due to a coding error on the server end. The server-end SFTP logic is a rewrite of an earlier FTP app that still expects a CD before the GET. Any ideas? Magic?

Please advise if something similar is > possible. I have tried many combinations of commands using SSH such as > $ssh->cmd( 'cd $path' ) with no joy. $ssh->cmd() always seems to hang. TIA. SSH doesn't support a cwd command - it is the job of the client to keep track of where it is in the remote directory structure. You can establish the path to your login directory by executing $sftp->do_realpath('.'); and after that you can specify either a path relative to that login directory or an absolute path. The location of '.' never changes. HTH, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
