Question : Solaris 10 SFTP to get a directory

I am working with Solaris 10 x86 on an HP DL360.  I am trying to write a simple script to use sftp to download a directory tree.  
The files I am trying to get are buried under 5 or so directory layers.  
For example:

/test/dir1/path/to/the/files
/test/dir2/path/to/the/files
/test/dir3/path/to/the/files

In the above example, I just want to connect to their SFTP server and download the 'test' directory, which would contain all the subdirs and files.  I had this working on windows using putty, but it seems that unix cannot handle this task.

It looked like the perl module Net::SFTP could handle this, but I have been trying without success to install it for the past two days.

What is the best way to do this?

Answer : Solaris 10 SFTP to get a directory

You could try to use
scp -r user@machine:/test your_local_dir

This will recursively copy the "/test" directory to "your_local_dir"
