Subject:

IO::Pty required even though url contains username and pasword

Hello! I have tested IO::All::SFTP with full url, e.g. 'sftp://username:password@hostname.domainname/' on Windows XP. Error message I get is: password authentication not available, IO::Pty is not installed or failed to load: Can't locate IO/Pty.pm in @INC (you may need to install the IO::Pty module) (@INC contains: ...) at D:/bin/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/Net/SFTP/Foreign/Backend/Unix.pm line 256. at D:/bin/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/LWP/Protocol/sftp.pm line 71. When installing IO::Pty: OS unsupported at Makefile.PL line 6. This module requires a POSIX compliant system to work. Try cygwin if you need this module on windows. Can you please make requirement of IO::Pty only on demand? Everything is working on Linux because IO::Tty is installed. Thanks HG

IO::Pty is only loaded on demand, when you use password authentication. The think is that you are actually using password authentication and the module is required, but unfortunatelly it doesn't work on Windows. As a workaround you can use Net::SFTP::Foreign with the Net::SSH2 backend (Net::SFTP::Foreign::Backend::Net_SSH2) or alternatively with the plink utility

Thank you. This bug report could be closed. On Windows, if you don't use Cygwin, it is neccesary for example to set the ssh_cmd option to plink.
