Re: Sftp password auth -- MIDRANGE-L

Aggh, I mean "sleep"

Try "sleep 5"

"wait" is at the end of a process that becomes interactive to wait for it
to end.

And you shouldn't be spawning the process. That is part of the expect

There's terminal control issues with QP2TERM as I mentioned before.

You should abandon QP2TERM and ssh into your PASE session.

Here's Don Libes (author of expect) writing about autoexpect

Without being able to run an interactive session, I really think

you

are

playing pin the tail on the donkey. I think we just have one

script

that

we

share between two different servers. All the rest of the servers

have

their

own scripts because the prompts are different. This one sends

password:

when it wants the password and sftp> when it wants a command.

Looking

at

another one it appears that it sends login -> when it wants the

password

and the command prompt is just a $. I've never used autoexpect

that

Jack

is

suggesting, but I've always basically done the same thing. Get

to a

command

line and run the sftp session interactively and write down the

prompts.

Then use those to create my expect sessions.

thanks kevin,

it is not working with 2 out of 2 non-iseries servers I'm testing
against...
but works with an internal iSeries sftp server...

the outside company provided logs but did not tell me nothing.
the internal network guys said that each time i'd attempt

connection

wtih

the internal sftp server I"d get blacklisted... they fix and I'd

retry

and

it would blacklist me.

I'll try your script...

If

can't get server operator to help you by looking at the logs on

their

then it is hard to tell you what is wrong.

This script runs many times a day and works fine.
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn sftp -oPort=9002 xxxx@a.b.c.d
expect "password:"
send "pass\n"
expect "sftp>"

the conclusion i arrived at as well...

Jack do you see anything wrong with this script?
If not, and nobody can produce a simple script the use to

connect

to

a

non-iseries sftp server, I'm going to conclude nobody knows how

or

it

can't

be done.
(good talent on this list is what I'm trying to say :))

#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
set timeout 20
spawn sftp -vvv -o PreferredAuthentications=password -oport=22
$env(SSH_USER)@10.175.96.213

Your log seems to have clipped anything after a comma.

eg.

this

line

debug2: we sent a password packet

should read

debug2: we sent a password packet, wait for a reply

I'm not sure whether the missing data is necessary,

but

it

would

be

nice

to have.

In any event, based on what is in the log it would

appear

that

after

sending a password packet your remote server is not

replying

but

instead

just closing the connection. That seems odd to me. The

server's

log

might
shed some light on the problem, but of course you

don't

have

access

to

that. You may have to contact the system owner and see

if

they

can

figure
it out.

Can you connect to the server normally? It's just the

expect

script

which
fails?
