Thanks Tom. I have tried specifying first SSH2, and then SSH1. Interestingly I get the same result.

Bill's suggestions: I tried ssh -v and got the following output: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ ssh -v XXXX.com OpenSSH_3.9p1, OpenSSL 0.9.7a Feb 19 2003 debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug1: Applying options for * debug1: Connecting to XXXX.com [###.###.###.###] port 22. debug1: Connection established. debug1: identity file /home/alexb/.ssh/identity type -1 debug1: identity file /home/alexb/.ssh/id_rsa type -1 debug1: identity file /home/alexb/.ssh/id_dsa type -1 debug1: Remote protocol version 2.0, remote software version OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 debug1: match: OpenSSH_4.5p1 FreeBSD-20061110 pat OpenSSH* debug1: Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0 debug1: Local version string SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.9p1 debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEXINIT received debug1: kex: server->client aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: kex: client->server aes128-cbc hmac-md5 none debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REQUEST(1024<1024<8192) sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP debug1: SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_INIT sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_REPLY debug1: Host 'data-access.sandiegomedia.com' is known and matches the DSA host key. debug1: Found key in /home/alexb/.ssh/known_hosts:4 debug1: ssh_dss_verify: signature correct debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS sent debug1: expecting SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS debug1: SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS received debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_REQUEST sent debug1: SSH2_MSG_SERVICE_ACCEPT received debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Trying private key: /home/alexb/.ssh/identity debug1: Trying private key: /home/alexb/.ssh/id_rsa debug1: Trying private key: /home/alexb/.ssh/id_dsa debug1: Next authentication method: keyboard-interactive Anyway for me to check for certain from my end if the allow "suppress shell"? Seems like we've got a few supporters for Net::SCP::Expect. So i installed it and tested it out. It worked on this server! I've never used this module before, so I've got a couple quick questions about it: - Is there any reason to worry about my current servers that work with the SFTP module working with this SCP module? - Are there any known "gotchas" with using Net::SCP::Expect? - Simply put: should it work anywhere clients are expecting to use SFTP? I do not have any control over the servers that are being programmed for our servers to connect to. So I need to program I a way that can handle most/all cases. Right now we offer local/manual download, HTTP, FTP, & SFTP. Thanks again for all of the help. --Alex _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
