Re: R: Help With sFTP

In this case he is using the tool "expect" to signon using user/password. Whe using SFTP, part of SSH protocol, the best practice is using shared keys, so you can use passwordless logon. SFTP command can't use password on scripts.

In my case, when I need to exchange user & password I use "lftp" , an open source tool with similar sintax, but accepts passwords when scripted.

A tipical sftp call looks like this:

sftp -b /sftp/sftpscript.sftp myuser@mysftpserver

and sftpscript.sftp content looks somethin like this:


cd /home/gio
get myfile.txt
rm myfile.txt
quit


Take a look at Scott's "Scripting the OpenSSH, SFTP, and SCP Utilities on i"
https://www.scottklement.com/presentations/Setting%20up%20and%20Scripting%20the%20OpenSSH,%20SFTP%20and%20SCP%20Utilities%20on%20IBM%20i.pdf

Hi Kevin


Thanks for your reply ..


Sorry but i have not understand your script


#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn sftp -oPort=9002 user@67.136.124.49
expect "password:"
send "notthepassword"
expect "sftp>"
send "cd current\n"
expect "sftp>"
send "mget *\n"
expect "sftp>"
send "quit\n"


I can run this ?? if I want write a CLP (for now I can also hardcode user
and pass) that run a get from sFTP server , where can find an example. For
now that , I'm in test, I would not use (if possible) public key


Thanks
