Re: Capturing expect session

I downloaded PuTTY and was easily able to connect to the remote site through the
sshd server on our main computer. What is the name today?

The client has been hollering for the data for days. My coworker, using
FileZilla started the transfer. Their ends dropped at least 6 times on one
file. Nice that FileZilla has the ability to pick up where it left off. But,
this is totally unacceptable. Chains somebody down to a pc to see if the thing
choked on their end, which, it does way too often.

My most recent LONG telephone call gave me more information. Not sure how

I'm missing something. Didn't you say, earlier, that it was failing
when waiting for the sftp> prompt after the 2nd transfer? If that's
the case, doesn't that mean tht the password had already worked?

I removed the second file, thinking that it might be contributing to
the issue. So, after the only put, I wait for sftp> and send quit.

With the second put removed, there are now four expects. Each has a separate
return code: 2, 3, 4, 5. Yet first invocation returns 00006 and second
returns
00010 - which makes no sense to me. I was told that their end shows me not
sending the password. Since receiver is Windows, last night I experimented
with changing all \n to \r\n. Made no difference. Still got 00006 and 00010
for return codes. Only thing I can think is that I am converting the return
code incorrectly. But, since the same expect script is used a second time, it
seems that the second session is somehow picking up on the first session. The
original code had the return code output from %BIN being used in an IF. I
attempted to use that in a CHGVAR - purpose was to give a text message for the
error message. The thought was that it was "better" to extract the
return code
once instead of having multiple %BIN calls. But, in light of 00006 an
00010, I
am going back to using %BIN directly in the IF instead of attempting to assign
to a variable. I should know if that makes any difference shortly after I get
to work.
