[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] NET::SFTP Connectivity Failure

[Moussavi, K. <KMo...@PE...>]

Hello,

We are trying to use the Net::SFTP perl module to transfer one file from a
remote machine.  Here is the code we're using:

###########################################
        use Net::SFTP;

        $user = "root";
        $passwd = "testpass";
        $ip = "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx";
        my $sftp = undef;

        eval{
        $sftp = Net::SFTP->new($ip,
                                user=>$user,
                                password=>$passwd,
                                debug=>3
                                );
        };
 
        print "sftp = $sftp\n";
        if (! $sftp) {
                print "I can't connect!\n";
        }else{
                print "SUCCESS!\n";
        }

        $sftp->get($remoteFile, $localFile);
###########################################

I get the following error:

Any assistance in resolving this matter is highly appreciated.  The value of
$sftp is blank.
