RE: Advice requested, porting unix perl app to windows

Serve-U has an FTP server that does both types of secure FTP (ftp over ssh and ftp of ssl). The cost for a single server is fairly reasonable, if memory serves. I know of no free (in either sense) secure FTP server for windows. Can you turn the sense of the transfers around? In other words, can

RE: Advice requested, porting unix perl app to windows

Just piggybacking on this a little bit with one more option, if you don't mind using a windows command, there is a utility in Windows 2003 and higher, and in Windows Vista and higher, and downloadable for lower versions named 'Robocopy'. It's very good for unreliable connections or high latency

Re: Advice requested, porting unix perl app to windows

If running on Windows, the best practice for transferring files would simply be through the native SMB filesystem. The script should run under a user context (domain is easiest) that has inherent rights to copy files to the second machine (because maintaining username and password credentials i

Well, then perhaps SmbClient would work for you: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Filesys-SmbClient I have not tried it myself, but it looks like it is a wrapper around libsmbclient.so, which knows how to talk to Windows Shares. You would share a portion of your windows filesystem and the remote e

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

To be honnest I do not call any Tk lib. I even do not know why it appears in the stack ... My C code uses wxWidgets lib for the GUI, hence the Perl side is used only for computation or some lowlevel accesses... Thanks for your help, Any other hint or idea will be welcome, Jean-Philippe ---

Hi Brian, Thanks for your reply, Sorry, I should have specified that these crashes are sporadic. Sometimes it does not crash at all but when it crashes, it is usually maximum after 15 join. Hence it is hard to provide a piece of code to reproduce the problem. Another thing I should have mentio
