Bug #48057 for Net-SFTP-Foreign:

Hi, I'm seeing what seems to be the re-occurrence of an old bug (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=771192). Specifically, when I try to connect to our SFTP server, I get the "Password not requested as expected" error message. I'm using the following to connect: my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new( host => $uri->host, port => $uri->port, user => $user, password => $pass, expect_log_user => 1, more => '-v', timeout => 8, ); Debug output (anonymised, I'm afraid): Error: SSH connection failed: Password not requested as expected: -1 at /Users/joebloggs/perl/sftp_sync.pl line 58.

Welcome to Random SFTP host @ SFTP002 (Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty) joebloggs@random.sftphost.com's password: Reverting to version 1.51 or 1.52_11 seems to fix the bug. I've also confirmed this issue by attempting to connect to a second, unrelated SFTP server. The local OS is Mac OS X 10.5.7, running a self-built (but pretty standard) perl version 5.8.8. The IO::Pty and Expect modules are also their latest versions: Net::SFTP::Foreign 1.53 IPC::Open3 1.02 Expect 1.21 IO::Pty 1.08 Best regards, Tim Rayner
