[SOLVED] Trouble scripting SFTP transfer.

Hi everyone: I am running into a wall with this one. I have developed a bash script to upload wav files to an sftp server. Here is what I have developed so far:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use Net::SFTP::Foreign;
#use strict;
use warnings;
my $host = "12.12.12.12";
my %args = (
	user => 'upload',
	password => 'wavs',
	);
my $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign->new($host, %args, more => '-v');
$sftp->mkdir ("/test");
$sftp->put ("~/Documents/testftp.txt", "/test/testftp.txt");

Here is what I get from the verbose mode:

OpenSSH_5.8p1 Debian-7ubuntu1, OpenSSL 1.0.0e 6 Sep 2011

After I receive that, it goes back to the standard command prompt. When I try to verify transfer by connecting via a Filezilla, nothing has been created or transferred. Any tips as to what I am missing?

Can't you use snailbook's I want to use sftp in a script nfo instead? Explains all and w/o needing Perl modules. If you however would like to pursue your approach what does the server side SSH daemon log say?

Thanks for your help. I was actually able to figure out what was causing the issue. For some reason the script was not accepting the server assigned key. Once I logged in manually through the terminal and accepted the key, everything is now working properly.

Thanks again.
