[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Can I test for connection reset and also supress warnings

[Steve C. <st...@oc...>]

Hello all,

I'm using Net::SFTP to perform a scheduled batch transfer from one of my 
servers to a client's server and I'm running into one potentially 
critical issue and one "would-be-nice" issue.

First, it would appear as though my clients SFTP server is occasionally 
reseting (or dropping) the connection. When this happens my automated 
transfer script completely dies with a closing connection message. Is it 
possible for me to trap this error (or test whether or not my $sftp 
object is connected) and have the script reconnect to the server to 
resume transfer?

And secondly, the less important issue... my clients server doesn't 
allow me to fsetstat which doesn't appear to be a problem at all, but 
the script is outputting a large number of "Couldn't fsetstat: Operation 
unsupported" messages. I'd like to disable only that message if possible 
as it's not entirely useful while other error messages & warnings are.

Any help would be much appreciated
