Re: Specifying options for Net::SFTP

We are having issues when an automated file transfer process hangs
when using net::SFTP. This causes the whole process to hang and a
whole bunch of headaches ensue. We need to be able to give up on the
connection and carry on. I have tried adding timeout options to the
SFTP connection but they don't appear to be having any effect (The
process was just now hung up for over 32 hours). Can someone confirm
I'm using the parameters correctly?

$sftp=Net::SFTP->new ($site,(user => $username,
password => $password,
debug => 1,
ssh_args => [ options => ["SetupTimeOut
300", "ServerAliveInterval 300", "ServerAliveCountMax 3"]],
)) or die "Problem connecting to SFTP server. $!\n";

Try changing it to this (note the use of the { } braces instead of ( )

$sftp=Net::SFTP->new ($site,{user => $username,
password => $password,
debug => 1,
ssh_args => [ options => ["SetupTimeOut
300", "ServerAliveInterval 300", "ServerAliveCountMax 3"]],
}) or die "Problem connecting to SFTP server. $!\n";
