Hello - I have been following the thread concerning connecting to a cisco device with SSH version 2 and getting the problem with multiple channels. I wanted to avoid altering Net-SSH-Perl code, so I have been attempting to just drop back to version 1. I have absolutely no problem connecting to an older PIX firewall in this way. However, as soon as I send a command to the ASA box (I do seem to successfully establish a connection and get authenticated) - I get an internal error message returned from the device. Turning SSH debug on on the ASA box, I see that when I send my command, the SSH server on the box complains "Secure Copy not Enabled". (I am not trying to do an scp command - any command causes this). I can get the thing to work by issueing the command "ssh scopy enable" on the Cisco device. However, I may often be dealing with boxes that I am not allowed to alter the configuration on. Can someone explain to me why the Net-SSH-Perl module seems to be doing something requiring scp?
