Re^5: instantiating an SFTP object

[zentara]

Hi, I don't want to feel like a dufus, but I tried

my $return = $ssh2->check_hostkey(LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ASK);
print "Return:  $return\n\n\n\n";

and all I get is Return 00 and the normal filehandle printout. How exactly do I efficiently print out the returns from the check_hostkey command.? I'm cultivating laziness. :-)

If the remote host key is good enough for the given policy, the method returns a true value. Otherwise it returns undef and the error (or die_with_error) method can be used to find out the failure cause.

$ssh2->check_hostkey(LIBSSH2_HOSTKEY_POLICY_ASK)
    or $ssh2->die_with_error;

The 0-but-true value 00 is equal to LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_MATCH.

The 0-but-true value 00 is equal to LIBSSH2_KNOWNHOST_CHECK_MATCH.

That's good isn't it? :-)
