Hi Folks

I have a Perl-Script that tries to connect each minute via SFTP.
But i receive this error every second try, because the socket is still occupied by my connection:

Net::SSH: Can't bind socket to port 1023: Die Adresse wird bereits verwendet at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/Net/SFTP.pm line 61

I tried to figure out if there is a methode for a clean shutdown of my SFTP-Object (like $sftp->quit())...or something like this.
But i did find anything yet.

Somebody an idea how to solve this problem?

Thanks and gratz

I would use the $sftp-object in a very small scope. If you leave the scope, the object would be destroyed and the connection should be refused.

or a will help

Thanks for the answers

But i am sorry to say, that both advices did not lead to a solution.
Neither undefining nor strictly limiting the existence of the object frees the port. I still get:

Net::SSH: Can't bind socket to port 1023...

Any other hints or solutions?
Thanks anyway.

are your shure that this port (1023) is not opend by other programs?
normaly sftp used port 22.

regards rambo

and, why don't u reuse your object anyway?

Hi Folks

Yes i am sure, that i use this port.
It is defined in:

Net/SSH/Perl.pm

But while looking for this, i found the solution for my task (i know not the best one).
In Line 223 and 224 in the sub _create_socket() you i found this:

my ($p,$end,$delta) = (0,1,1); # normally we use whatever port we can get
($p,$end,$delta) = (1023,512,-1) if $ssh->{config}->get('privileged') ;

I removed the line 224 and now my Script uses different ports to connect.
Anyway thanks for the help.
Gratz
