RE: trouble installing EXPECT using Scott Klement Reference

All of the sftp commands will need to be in expect script. Spawn starts
the sftp connection inside of the expect script. Expect waits for
certain text, and then when it sees it, sends the response. The script
below is very basic, but there plenty of examples of complex scripts out
there. Ours starts the sftp session and waits for the other side to send
"password:" When it sees that, it sends our password (I see I striped
out a " when I was sanitizing that script). It then waits for it come
back to command prompt "sftp>" When it sends that, it sent our put
command and a carriage return. "mput *\n" It waits for the command
prompt again, and then sends quit to disconnect.

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?

i seeeeee... ok getting a better picture of all this - i did

the
spawn command 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?
