Net::SSH2 list files

[WhiskeyJack]

Hello Monks,

Is there some way for me to list all the files in a folder on my SFTP server using Net::SSH2. Right now I'm using a shell script but that won't work because the program will be run on several different operating systems.

Thanks in Advance

You have to call Net::SSH2::SFTP::opendir method to get a directory handle object and then read the entries from it.

An easy solution would be to use Net::SFTP::Foreign with the Net::SSH2 backend Net::SFTP::Foreign::Backend::Net_SSH2.

Thanks for replying salva!

The problem I have is that I can't figure out a way to read the entries. I can't use Net::SFTP::Foreign at all since I'm on a windows and cygwin is not responding to my pleading :D Is there some other way to get this information from the opendir command?

# untested!
my $sftp = $ssh2->sftp;
my $dh = $sftp->opendir($dir);
while (my %entries = $dh->read) {
  print "$_\n" for keys %entries;
}

BTW, Net::SFTP::Foreign works with ActiveState and Strawberry versions of perl.
