Re: SFTP

I had much the same experience.

I've used both PSFTP.exe from Putty and sftp.exe from Cygwin.

In both cases I write a batch file and execute the exe via a system call.

 $RUNSTRING = "$main::sftpbin -b $SFTP_BATCH_FILE $SFTPLOGIN >> $TEMPLOG";

## which translates to
##'c:\cygwin\bin\sftp -b c:\work\client_batch.txt u...@site >>
\work\client_user.yyymmdd.log

 $my_rc = system("$runstring");

For error trapping you need to capture the output and scan it for key
words.
Though, I think sftp from cygwin give a pretty trustworthy success/fail
return code. psftp doesn't.

Good luck,
Mike
