Yes , I have automated sftp using expect ..see below
Poking around /usr/local/bin with the command ll | more, I found
autoexpect. It's not in the book, What`s Autoexpect ?
autoexpect - generate an EXPECT script from watching a session.
This is a cool program. I can run a TELNET or FTP session to a Linux from
AIX or between any systems and create an EXPECT script from the session
that I can run any time I wish.
( Ftp`d one file from hrdev to linux server and created test1.exp script
using autoexpect )
f3n43#autoexpect -f test1.exp sftp egbert
autoexpect started, file is test1.exp
Connecting to egbert...
root@egbert's password:
sftp> put README
Uploading README to /root/README
sftp> quit
autoexpect done, file is test1.exp
The file test1.exp is the script created by autoexpect.Examining test1.exp
shows the details of the two-way conversation between the Linux machine
and the AIX. Every character is saved in either a send or expect command.
Even the password is saved, so care must be taken with these scripts.
I can rerun this script(test1.exp) any time I wish simply by typing
test1.exp at the prompt. It puts README file by reading commands in the
script .
f3n43 /usr/sshdownload/expect/expect-5.38>test1.exp
spawn sftp egbert
Connecting to egbert...
root@egbert's password:
sftp> put README
Uploading README to /root/README
sftp> quit
f3n43 /usr/sshdownload/expect/expect-5.38>

Re: Non-Interactive SFTP
I tried this command according to the man pages:
scp -B username@servername:test.file
and it kept comming back with the usage. What am I doing wrong?

Why not just use scp?
