[Fwd: Cygwin 1.5.9 on Windows XP using ssh within perl]


Hi,

I have a perl script running on another machine. within the perl script I do an ssh to the XP machine running cygwin 1.5.9. The command I use is:

ssh XPPC dir /home/myfiles

>From within the perl script I receive the following error:

Remote pc cmd failed: ssh XPPC dir /home/myfiles

If I do this same command from a shell remotely, it gives me a listing of my directory on the pc.

I have generated all my keys so I am not prompted for a password from the command line. Do I need something to redirect my output to the remote machine? I am just trying to count the files within the directory.

Thanks for any assistance.

Lucy
