Oooops, forgot to cc the list Sturdy -----Original Message-----
Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply. Yes, path and file exist, case is correct, user is logged on, etc. This is an issue unique to the server app running on the remote. Unfortunately, I can't mod the app so need to code a workaround on the client end. The server app was recoded from an FTP server which recognized the CD command. At that time, the FTP clients did a CD before getting a file. Experimentation disclosed the SFTP GET provides correct results when done from the same dir as the resident file. So I need to do something similar in Net::SFTP. The real problem seems to be a coding error on the server side but unfortunately I must live with it...aargh. Also, I have a test setup using another local WinXP box. Same problem, results, etc. It seems that an $ssh->cmd( 'cd $path' ) should do the deed but I can't make it work, just hangs.

Please advise if something similar is possible. I have tried many combinations > of commands such as $ssh->cmd( 'cd $path' ) with no joy. $ssh->cmd() always seems to hang. TIA. Are you sure that you have the correct path, the file exists, and the user you are using has appropriate permissions? You don't give the reason that your path was rejected, but it is likely to be one of those. I could be wrong, but I don't think that being able to chdir (which I don't think you can) would make any difference. As this is a win32 list, don't forget that unix file systems are usually case sensitive, unlike win32.
