Re: trouble installing EXPECT using Scott Klement Reference

kevin...

we have key auth working for sftp but want to allow user password also...
so obviously why i'm pursuing expect...

using EXPECT, can I simply spawn the same sftp command I use for key
auth...??

l_sftpCommand = 'PATH=$PATH:/QOpenSys/usr/bin && sftp ' +
'-vvv ' +
'-oport=' + %trim(l_port) + ' ' +
'-b /tmp/sftpBatchFile.BCH ' +
%trim(l_userName) + '@' + %trim(l_host);

so basically in my EXPECT script, i say "spawn" and then specify the same
sftp command above and it will utilize the batch file? or do my sftp
get/put commands need to be built into the EXPECT script?

will do what I need for the sftp execution

Expect doesn't change anything about using sftp. Expect just asks like a
person typing at a terminal. Here is one of our scripts.

#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn sftp -oPort=9002 xxx@1.1.1.1
expect "password:"
send abc123n"
expect "sftp>"
send "mput *\n"
expect "sftp>"
send "quit\n"

also, by using EXPECT (instead of SFTP), is there a way to specify the

port to

use?

It looks to me like if you follow those instructions it would be at
/usr/bin/expect. If you want it in qopensys you would need to

either

copy/move it, or create a symbolic link (the better option)

Hopefully someone can help...

I'm following the short instructions in this link...

https://www.scottklement.com/expect/

however, when I am done and check for the expect command using

the

following command, I do not see it...

WRKLNK OBJ('/qopensys/usr/bin/expect')

It appears i am not doing the install correctly. What am I

missing?
