[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Channel open failure: 1: reason 4: when connecting to Cisco router

[<Mic...@co...>]

The script below is trying to connect to a Cisco router via ssh, and is
giving the error messages that follow.
The same code when aimed at a linux server, changing only the host,
user, password and command works fine.=20
Any suggestions are appreciated.
