It is a learning curve. I did all of this back in 2005, but it has been
running smoothly ever since. We don't do any new projects with it if we
can avoid it. Most things for us are simple file transfers, and since we
already use Mirth Connect for other transfers, we take advantage of it.
Mirth sits on a linux box with a mapped drive to the IBM i, checks the
folder periodically and then send any files it finds via SFTP. For
pickup it will go to a site and pull files on a schedule, and drop them
in a folder via the mapped drive. Mirth runs on windows also if you
don't have linux boxes around.

Expect doesn't change anything about using sftp. Expect just asks

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?
