NAME

Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants - Exportable SFTP::Foreign constants

SYNOPSIS

use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants qw( :tag CONSTANT );
print "Constant value is ", CONSTANT;

DESCRIPTION

Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants provides a list of exportable SFTP constants: for SFTP messages and commands, for file-open flags, for status messages, etc. Constants can be exported individually, or in sets identified by tag names.

Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants provides values for all of the constants listed in the SFTP protocol version 3 draft; the only thing to note is that the constants are listed with the prefix SSH2 instead of SSH. So, for example, to import the constant for the file-open command, you would write:

use Net::SFTP::Foreign::Constants qw( SSH2_FXP_OPEN );

TAGS

As mentioned above, constants can either be imported individually or in sets grouped by tag names. The tag names are:

:fxp

Imports all of the SSH2_FXP_* constants: these are the constants used in the messaging protocol.

:flags

Imports all of the SSH2_FXF_* constants: these are constants used as flags sent to the server when opening files.

:att

Imports all of the SSH2_FILEXFER_ATTR_* constants: these are the constants used to construct the flag in the serialized attributes. The flag describes what types of file attributes are listed in the buffer.

:status

Imports all of the SSH2_FX_* constants: these are constants returned from a server SSH2_FXP_STATUS message and indicate the status of a particular operation.

:error

Imports all the SFTP_ERR_* constants used to represent high level errors: SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_ALREADY_EXISTS, SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_CHMOD_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_OPEN_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_READ_ERROR, SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_STAT_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_UTIME_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_LOCAL_WRITE_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_PACKET_SEQUENCE, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_PACKET_TYPE, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_PERMISSIONS, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BAD_TIME, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_BLOCK_TOO_SMALL, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_CLOSE_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_FSETSTAT_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_FSTAT_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_LSTAT_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_MKDIR_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_OPENDIR_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_OPEN_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READDIR_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_READ_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_REALPATH_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_REMOVE_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_RENAME_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_RMDIR_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_SETSTAT_FAILED, SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_STAT_FAILED and SFTP_ERR_REMOTE_WRITE_FAILED

(these constants are not defined on the SFTP draft)

There is one constant that does not fit into any of the tag sets: SSH2_FILEXFER_VERSION, which holds the value of the SFTP protocol implemented by Net::SFTP::Foreign.
