Help needed regarding perl script that uses SFTP
Hi,
Help needed related to the below perl script. It is using SFTP to tranfer files, but i dont find any login info.
Is it trying to transfer from one server to another or on the same server. what the below code is trying to do.
How can we convert the following code which uses normal ftp.
while connect to ftp , should we compulsarily write use Net::FTP or is there any other way. If we want to connect
to the same server and transfer from one location to another using ftp, how can we achieve it.
help appreciate.
$copy_from_dir="/home/XFFI
$copy_to_dir="/usr/tmp/".$
# Reteive File using SFTP
open FT ,"|/usr/local/bin/sftp XFFILES";
print REQ "|/usr/local/bin/sftp XFFILES\n";
print FT "cd $copy_from_dir\n";
print REQ "cd ".$copy_from_dir."\n";
print FT "lcd $copy_to_dir\n";
print REQ "lcd ".$copy_to_dir."\n";
print FT "mget ".$price_file.".csv\n";
print REQ "mget ".$price_file.".csv\n";
print FT "bye\n";
print REQ "bye\n";
close FT;
# Create File for Report Output to be viewed in Concurrent Manager
$reqfile = $applcsf."/".$applout."/o"
# Open File for Writing Output
open (REQ,">>$reqfile") || die "Could not Create";
bye

There is also a module that supports SFTP. If you want that, see here:

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Net::FTP is the best perl module available to support FTP. In perl if you would like to use any module then you have to write use <Module Name>.
So in this cas it is necessary to write use Net::FTP;
Please visit following link to understand more about the implementaion using Net::FTP.
