Re: SFTP using password

Hi, John,

When running interactively under PASE, if you are using QP2TERM, there is no "/dev/tty"... :-o

So, you need to use some other technique, such as "expect" ... to deal with this situation.

Here are some related resources that may help:

and

All the best,

Mark S. Waterbury

I found the -vvv switch for SFTP and the log shows it is stuck repeating

this line.

read_passphrase: can't open /dev/tty: No such device or address.

sftp tries to interactively get the password, but fails because there is no
interactive terminal connected.

:wq! PoC
