hi,

I have a script that will automatically login into a server and get a file. it is working fine if i run it on a command line. however, when i tried to run it as a cron job, it is not working. what should i do?

set timeout -1
spawn /usr/bin/sftp user1@server1
match_max 100000
expect -exact "Connecting to server1...\r
user1@server1's password: "
send -- "passwordtxt\r"
expect -exact "\r
sftp> "
send -- "cd .ssh\r"
expect -exact "cd .ssh\r
sftp> "
send -- "get file1\r"
expect -exact "get file1\r
Fetching /users/user1/.ssh/file1 to file1\r
sftp> "
send -- "exit\r"
expect eof

NOTE: i do not want to use scp,ftp,cp or any other filetransfer because it needs some keys to be setup. all i want to do is run this as a cron job.

thanks,
