Unattended SFTP
Hi All,

I'm attempting the same thing here; my particular problem is that I'm trying to get files from a UNIX box to a VMS box with different account names. So, I believe, the shared public key option wouldn't work for me (because the account names have to be the same?).

Anyway, I'm interested in the 'expect' solutions posted by the previous participants of this thread but they don't seem to work for me. In the last post there's a variable $arg mentioned - is this the password? And is this passed on the command line?

Many thanks,

p.
