in thread Perl sftp behavior when there are no files in the share

You should print your confirmation message from within get_LOGS, like this: 
if $sftp->get($REM_FILE)
    print "file '$REM_FILE' downloaded\n"
else
    print "File does not seem to be present on the remote share. Pleas
+e re-request..!!!\n" . $sftp->error\n;
