net::SFTP change directory	Can't Post

Hello All,

Am changing the ftp scripts which are using the net::FTP. Did not found the ftp->cwd($cwd) library function in the net::SFTP. Please help me in this.

Want to put the file in the remote directory.

Thanks,

Svasu

AFIK, SFTP is based on SSH, and the SSH protocol does not support chdir, and hence it is not available in Net::SFTP either.

I would track the "working directory" on the client side and always use the full path.

If you google for Net::SFTP and chdir, you will find several discussions about how to solve this problem.

Use Net::SFTP::Foreign (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Net::SFTP::Foreign) that supports changing the remote working directory (with the setcwd method).
