I had much the same experience.
I've used both PSFTP.exe from Putty and sftp.exe from Cygwin.
In both cases I write a batch file and execute the exe via a system call.
$RUNSTRING = "$main::sftpbin -b $SFTP_BATCH_FILE $SFTPLOGIN >> $TEMPLOG";
## which translates to
##'c:\cygwin\bin\sftp -b c:\work\client_batch.txt user@site >>
\work\client_user.yyymmdd.log
$my_rc = system("$runstring");
For error trapping you need to capture the output and scan it for key
words.
Though, I think sftp from cygwin give a pretty trustworthy success/fail
return code. psftp doesn't.
Good luck,
Mike
