[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Net::SFTP and publickey

[Jim M. <jim...@no...>]

Hi

I'm trying to setup a connection using publickeys, but I'm getting 
nowhere.  I have a publickey in /export/home/jimmatt/.ssh/id_rsa.  Here's 
the code:

$sftp = Net::SFTP->new($server, ssh_args=>[port => "22"]);
$sftp->get($remote_file, $localfile);

Nothing fancy.  Here's the output I get:

morpheus: Reading configuration data /export/home/jimmatt/.ssh/config
morpheus: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh_config
morpheus: Connecting to test.duke.edu, port 22.

I tried to specify the the identity file by using:

$sftp = Net::SFTP->new($server, debug=>true, ssh_args=>[identity_files => 
"/export/home/jimmatt/.ssh/id_rsa", port => "22"]);

but it didn't like that:

morpheus: Service accepted: ssh-userauth.
morpheus: Trying empty user-authentication request.
morpheus: Authentication methods that can continue: 
publickey,password,keyboard-interactive.
morpheus: Next method to try is publickey.
Can't use string ("/export/home/jimmatt/.ssh/id_rsa") as an ARRAY ref 
while "strict refs" in use at 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Net/SSH/Perl/Auth/PublicKey.pm line 
51.

Any other way to try and specify this? 

Thanks.
