    <p>My requirement is to transfer files and folders from SFTP remote location to unix location. I am new to perl and shell scripting, and this has been very confusing. I tried using rget command from sftp foreign as shown below. But it doesn't work and it isn't getting transferred. How do I delete the files and folders after copying them from the sftp server?</p> <pre><code>use Net::SFTP::Foreign; my $host = "sftp.elsevier.com"; my $remote_dir = "sample/host"; my $localdir = "sample/local"; my $username = "username"; my $password = "password"; my $debug = 0; $sftp = Net::SFTP::Foreign-&gt;new($host, timeout =&gt; 240,user =&gt; $username, password =&gt; $password) or $newerr = 1; push @ERRORS, "Can't sftp to $host: $!\n" if $newerr; myerr() if $newerr; print "Connected to $host\n"; $sftp-&gt;rget($remote_dir, $localdir) or $newerr = 1; push @ERRORS, "Cant tranfer\n" if $newerr; myerr() if $newerr; $sftp-&gt;disconnect if $newerr; print "Files are transferred successfully\n"; #Deleting files $sftp-&gt;setcwd($remote_dir) or $newerr = 1; push @ERRORS, "Can't cd $!\n" if $newerr; myerr() if $newerr; $sftp-&gt;disconnect if $newerr; my $files = $sftp-&gt;ls or $newerr = 1; push @ERRORS, "Can't get file list $!\n" if $newerr; myerr() if $newerr; foreach (@$files){ $sftp-&gt;remove($_) or $newerr = 1; push @ERRORS, "Cant delete\n" if $newerr; myerr() if $newerr; print "Deleted files successfully\n"; #} $sftp-&gt;disconnect; sub myerr { print "Error: \n"; print @ERRORS; exit 0; } </code></pre> <p>Inside the SFTP location - sample/host, I have many folders and files which all need to be copied to the local unix server - sample/local and deleted from the remote location.</p>
