We have several scripts connecting to non IBM i machines with SFTP and using expect to provide the passwords and workflow. All expect does is simulate keystrokes, and doesn't have any knowledge of what type of system is on the other end. That said, I'm in the process of rewriting all off my scripts that have to use password to use lftp instead. And I'm still pushing my trading partners to switch to public key instead.

7 PASE and the Shell To put yourself at a PASE command line ("shell"), type: CALL QP2TERM The prompt. Tells you that the shell is ready for a command.
It seems to only work for me when sftp'ing to other iseries sftp servers and not non-iseries sftp servers.
My recent research shows another way to do sftp password auth...

What could I be missing with the EXPECT method or is it limited to only iseries to iseries sftp?
