Dennis - there's a Net::SFTP module (http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Net-SFTP), which is a pure-perl implementation of the SFTP protocol. The bottom of the page also seems to suggest that various Windows PPM packages are available for it.
Hope this helps - Tobias -----Original Message----- From: perl-win32-users-boun...@listserv.activestate.com [mailto:perl-win32-users-boun...@listserv.activestate.com] On Behalf Of Dennis Daupert Sent: Wednesday, June 03, 2009 8:42 AM To: perl-win32-users@listserv.ActiveState.com Subject: Advice requested, porting unix perl app to windows Hello group, Most of my perl programming is on unix; my windows knowledge is limited. So, please be gentle ;-) I have an app that produces data files on one unix machine, then uses scp to move those over to another machine for further processing. The system architecture dictates the two-machine arrangement. Management has asked me to port that app to a windows-based system with the same two-machine architecture. I don't know of a free (as in both beer and non-beer) windows equivalent to scp OR sftp. I'm seeking advice on a solid, dependable, and secure way to move files between machines without incurring additional expense. I've wondered whether there may be Perl modules that will map drives and copy files across that would do so on an automated schedule, and I've been searching CPAN. But before heading too far down that path, I thought I'd ask the list for advice. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
