Re: [Ssh-sftp-perl-users] Fwd: How to load my private DSA key for authentication?

[Anthony L. <ant...@ya...>]

Thanks for spotting that typo, but fixing that typo does not fix the problem. The exactly same problem remains: 

Invalid option 'key_path' or bad combination of options at ./test.pl line 14


I have this version: Net-SFTP-Foreign-1.69 from http://search.cpan.org/~salva/Net-SFTP-Foreign-1.69/lib/Net/SFTP/Foreign.pm

And my perl is Strawberry Perl 5, version 12.  I am not sure why the documentation doesn't say what combinations are accepted and what are not.  I think my combination makes sense:

I do need to specify the port number,
I do need to specify the private key file path,
I do need to specify the user name,
I do need to specify the ssh command.

You are defining $host but passing @host. Activate warnings and strict on you programs.

Which version of Net::SFTP::Foreign have you installed. To known, run the following command:

  perl -MNet::SFTP::Foreign -e 'print qq($Net::SFTP::Foreign::VERSION\n)'
