I've already tried two versions without much success. I did consider using the full cygwin install, but thought it over the top for what I wanted. I may give that another go before giving up and resorting to SMB Unfortunately, I have to talk to a Windows box as these are PDF's that need to be

Hi Fred, I have already tried that and it does work. My problem is that this way error checking and correction is a bit more clunky (checking that the share is live before trying the copy etc. Using Perl and Net::SCP is very straight forward from the sender end, and error checking is a doddle.

I would check https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH Windows guys did some work and the openssh should work on Windows in some way. I didn't try that yet, but it seems working for some people. If you see authentication failures, there might be something unseful in the logs. On 03/22/

Yeah, I was kind of hoping that wouldn't be the case, but I do see your dilemma. There are a couple of free Windows sshd programs available, though I have no experience with them. This one appears to be pretty good: http://mobassh.mobatek.net/download-home-edition.html. Of course, you can always

Hi Mark, Thanks for this, but I need this to be headless and automated, which is why not using passwords is so important. The only method I've got working so far is standard SMB shares but that solution isn't as clean as sftp (if I can get it working) On Tuesday 22 March 2016 12:48:37 Mark Han

I routinely copy files to/from Windows to my Linux boxes, and the best way I've found is either use Dolphin and smb:// or use samba client from the command line. Getting SSH/SCP/SFTP to work on Windows isn't trivial (at least it hasn't been) so I just skip that effort altogether. Another method I
