Actually, if it's not much trouble, I would appreciate it.

I got perl-sftp to compile and run on some of my systems (Sparcs
running Solaris 2.6 and 8).
(It runs on one, after updating gcc, perl, and many cpan updates, etc. 
Doing the same
on other systems did not yield good compiles....)

The above effort was tabled due to a deadline, so
I threw together a script to do the following:
list files in local dir
sftp + list files in remote
build a command file to transfer the missing files
check that all the transferred files made it
delete those that succeeded

All this using the system function and sftp that comes with openssh, 
I have not looked at expect at all.

The above gets run repeatedly in a cron tab.

(and I have code to do the opposite, pull down from sftp server).
