net/sftp 1.10 errors

[zdennis]

I recently downloaded net/ssh 1.0.7 and net/sftp 1.1.0. But I get problems with ruby 1.8.2, 1.8.3 on
either windows, debian or ubuntu boxes.

require 'rubygems'
require 'net/sftp'

sftp_sess = Net::SFTP.start 'host', 'username', 'password'
sftp_sess.put_file '/home/uberriffic/test.txt', '/home/uberriffic/remote_test.txt'
NoMethodError: private method `open' called for #<Net::SFTP:rotocol:river:0xb7863790>

Do I need ruby 1.8.4? Thanks

Zach,

Thanks for this report. I'm not sure yet what's going wrong here, but
I can duplicate the error on my machine and I'll look into it.

Here are two workarounds:

First, you can use a block to Net::SFTP.start:

Net::SFTP.start(...) do |sess|
sess.put_file(...)
end

Or, if you can't use the block format for whatever reason, be sure to
call #connect after calling start:

sess = Net::SFTP.start(...)
sess.connect
sess.put_file(...)

Not sure why that connect isn't being called automatically, but I'll
look into it.
