SCP putting file problem

hello,

I am getting an error while I am using the SCP put command:

here is the error:
Use of uninitialized value in die at ./spam_parsing.pl line 259,
line 2.
Died at ./spam_parsing.pl line 259, line 2.

from the line code 259:
$SCP->put("$file_to_put") or die SCP->{"errstr"};
print "Putting file and quitting \n";


It is logging in fine but the script exits when it reaches this
command.

I did put a print out to the "$file_to_put " file right before the
$SCP->put(".. line and it prints out fine, so the file is not a
problem.
anyone has an idea?

Add the following to the top of your script:

use strict;

Shouldn't that be:
$SCP->put($file_to_put) or die $SCP->{errstr};

I added
use strict;

here is the error message I am getting:
Can't use bareword ("SCP") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use
at ./spam_parsing.pl line 289.

The quote is not the key issue. You forgot the $
Look closely at the difference between these:

die SCP->{"errstr"}
die $SCP->{"errstr"}

You need to reread the Net::SCP documentation better.

$scp->get("filename") or die $scp->{errstr};
$scp->put("filename") or die $scp->{errstr};

well I fixed the perl problem, forgot the $ like Ron mentionned
I am faced with another problem

I am getting this error message. This is a non perl issue.

Permission denied (publickey,password,keyboard-interactive).

I followed the tutorial on this link:
http://rcsg-gsir.imsb-dsgi.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/documents/internet /node31.html
and also from other post here a few days ago.
but I still get the error message.
I created a key in .ssh/id_rsa.pub and copy that into the .ssh/
known_hosts in the receiving server
any help appreciated
thanks

^^^^^^

You mean id_dsa.pub :)

I wouldn't like it if anyone had my private key...

well I do not see .ssh/authorized_keys but I do see /dir/.ssh/
known_hosts
I also have a directory /.ssh/known_hosts but this is root access
only and I tried puttingin both places my public key but that never
worked

If it's not there, it will be created by the '>>' redirection.
The sshd doesn't care whether the file exists and is empty or doesn't=20
exist. In both cases, no public keys from the client user exist and a=20
password will be requested.

So? Just create one.

remote% cat >>.ssh/authorized_keys

^D
remote% ls -l .ssh

Irrelevant; that file is not used for incoming connections.

That's true and I haven't used Net::SCP but, the scp could
potentially fail because the local ssh config forces a manual
acceptance check of the
remote host IP if there hasn't been an earlier
SSH connection. Once the connection is accepted,
the remote IP and its public key is added to
'known_hosts'.
