[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Connection Problems to specific SFTP Servers, plus patch to fix

[<Sea...@pr...>]

Hello All,
	We're trying to automate an sftp file transfer with a partner
who uses Sterling Commerce -- It uses openssh under the covers, but it
must be tweaked in some way because Net::SFTP errors out when it
connects to their server. When we try to connect, we get this error:

Error: Received disconnect message: Unsupported request (shell).
 at /opt/perl-5.8.2/lib/site_perl/5.8.2/Net/SSH/Perl/SSH2.pm line 281


	After further investigation, we determined that Net::SSH::Perl
is always opening a channel for shell -- Which makes perfect sense,
except when you are doing SFTP and can't get a shell channel. So we
whipped together a path for Net::SSH::Perl which make that an optional
behavior, and a patch for Net::SFTP, which makes it use that option.

	The patches are against the latest CVS -- there didn't seem to
be a v1_28 tag in CVS, but the files don't seem to be that different
from HEAD.
