Net::SCP::Expect vs Net::SFTP

[Daniel Berger]

Hi all,

I'm the author of Net::SCP::Expect and I would like to ask a question
- is there anything Net::SCP::Expect can do that Net::SFTP cannot?

I ask because I would very much like to retire Net::SCP::Expect if
possible. I always considered it a workaround until a "real"
implementation came along. Net::SFTP appears to be that
implementation. However, if there is some critical functionality that
cannot be accomplished with Net::SFTP, then I will keep it around.

A cursory glance over the API didn't reveal anything obvious to me,
but I don't use either module enough to make a real comparison. I'm
hoping some heavy duty users can help me out.

Regards,

Dan

I'll tell you why not.
scp allows recursive get and sftp doesn't.
programming a script for doing the recursive get with sftp is a pain.
