Perl has a repository of user-submitted modules called Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Net::SFTP::Foreign can be installed from there, and it looks like a good candidate, as does Net::SFTP. The two modules use different methods for invoking the SFTP protocol. I would try one and, if that doesn’t work, the other. You can also search CPAN for other FTP and SFTP modules. Most modules come with their own documentation and sample code. See this link for Net::STFP::Foreign: <https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::SFTP::Foreign> Try what that gives you, and come back here if you have any specific questions or problems. It is always good to give it a try for yourself before asking for help. Post what you try. > On Apr 16, 2023, at 2:40 PM, Brent Wood via beginners <beginners@perl.org> wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm not a perl coder, (though have written a few very simple Perl scripts when necessary) but now I need to write a Perl script to transfer specified files from one computer to another.
