Thanks to Sisyphus I managed to get SFTP working from Windows without any problems now. First I was confused as to the correct port our server was listening on. When I modified my script to use the default ftp port instead of 2021 I was left with a different problem which I had seen mentioned many other places. The program would hang upon opening channel 1:
... GHART-626-001: Sending request for user-authentication service. GHART-626-001: Service accepted: ssh-userauth. GHART-626-001: Trying empty user-authentication request. GHART-626-001: Authentication methods that can continue: publickey,password. GHART-626-001: Next method to try is publickey. GHART-626-001: Next method to try is password. GHART-626-001: Trying password authentication. GHART-626-001: Login completed, opening dummy shell channel. GHART-626-001: channel 0: new [client-session] GHART-626-001: Requesting channel_open for channel 0. GHART-626-001: channel 0: open confirm rwindow 100000 rmax 16384 GHART-626-001: Got channel open confirmation, requesting shell. GHART-626-001: Requesting service shell on channel 0. GHART-626-001: channel 1: new [client-session] GHART-626-001: Requesting channel_open for channel 1. GHART-626-001: Sending subsystem: sftp GHART-626-001: Requesting service subsystem on channel 1. GHART-626-001: channel 1: open confirm rwindow 100000 rmax 16384 [Programs stop here forever] The key turned out to be the proper installation of all the modules. Sisyphus referred me to the W32Perl.pm author's website which included this tasty morsel: "PLEASE NOTE: The Net-SSH-W32Perl package instructs ppm to install all of the necessary packages for it to make a SSH2 connection. If you have installed any of the packages manually, specifically Net::SSH::Perl (the version located here is newer than the one on CPAN), it will probably not work. Almost all of the emails that I receive from people having trouble getting it to work are resolved by removing all of the required modules and reinstalling the Net-SSH-W32Perl package by following the directions above." http://www.soulcage.net/ppds/ Starting with a clean perl install (5.8.7) I first installed Net::SSH::W32Perl and then installed Net::SFTP. I didn't need to make any other changes, I didn't need to go into SFTP.pm and change Perl to W32Perl or anything like that. It just all works. It will be interesting to do a diff and see how these new ppm-installed modules differ from the ones I was using earlier. Thanks Sisyphus! Arvin > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "A.
