Re: sftp

Hi John,

Sigh... the article you took this from was a mistake. When I wrote it, I did not know how to read an environment variable in an Expect script -- but, now I do :-)

So, I'm glad it's working for you. But, there's an easier way, you can just refer to then as $env(USER) or $env(PASSWORD) directly from within Expect, so there's no real reason to build the Expect script on-the-fly as you're doing.

For instance, you could put the following in an IFS file:

#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
set timeout 20
spawn sftp $env(USER)@xxx.com
expect {
default {exit 2}
"continue connecting (yes/no)?" {send "yes\n"; exp_continue}
"assword:" {send "$env(PASSWORD)\n"; exp_continue}
"sftp>"
}
send "put $env(PUTFILE)\n"
expect {
default {exit 2}
"not found" {exit 3}
"sftp>"
}
send "quit\n"
exit 0

Then you could just run that (with expect -f) from your CL program (or whatever you're using.)

I had several sftp sessions on our i, after Scott's assistance.

Are you using an expect script?

Are you tryng to run as an unattended process?

I can send a script to you if that helps.
