[Ssh-sftp-perl-users] SFTP Dropping script

[Miguel A. <mig...@gm...>]

Hi All,

  First thanks for reading this !

  I'm currently trying to implement sftp support on by perl backup
program, simplebackup (
http://migas.kicks-ass.org/index.php?pag=en.myapps&subpag=simplebackup
)

But i'm getting stuck, the program manages to connect but it never
(aparently) to login, no mather what code i try to use, plus i'm
unable to control the login process... the program just dies i can't
get it control with eval or any other thing.

Here is a example:
eval {
   require Net::SFTP; #attempt to detect if the  sftp modulo is installed
};
if ($@) {
   print "Error Net::SFTP module is  not installed\n";
}
my %ssh_args = (
                            port => "443",
                            debug => "1",
);
my %sftp_args = (
                            user => "some_user",
                            password => "some_password",
                            debug => "1",
                            ssh_args=>\%ssh_args,
);
eval {
   $ftp_sftp_connection_p = Net::SFTP->new( "some_server", %sftp_args);
}
if ($@) {
   # THIS CODE NEVER WORKS... the script DIES
   print "Failed loginn";
}

# Here is the syslog message from the ssh server
Sep 13 10:39:48 migas sshd[29484]: fatal: Timeout before
authentication for::ffff:127.0.0.1


I also notice that the comunication process with the ssh server is
very slow (minutes), can this be the problem ??


Can anyone give me any help... PLEASE , i have looked and look the net
and several foruns to no avail.

Stay Happy !
