Here is my Expect script, I don't get any error message when I run it. But the file never goes to other system? I also paste the output screen below.
When I run the script, the script runs so fast. But when I do it manually, it takes about 10 minutes for the file to transfer.

Hi,
I read a couple of forum entries about scripting sftp using the '-b' option, but in my case it still prompts for the password. Does anyone have a sample script for an sftp block to 'get' files from the remote server without prompting for a password?

sftp-server
sftp-server(1M) System Administration Commands sftp-server(1M)
NAME
sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server [-f log_facility] [-l log_level]
DESCRIPTION
sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.
sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. Command-line flags to sftp-server should be specified in the Subsys-
tem declaration. See sshd_config(4) for more information.
To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.
There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.
OPTIONS
Valid options are listed below. As stated above, these are to be specified in the Subsystem declation of sshd_config.
-f log_facility
Specifies the facility code that is used when logging messages from sftp-server. The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0,
LOCAL1, LOCAL2, LOCAL3, LOCAL4, LOCAL5, LOCAL6, LOCAL7. The default is AUTH.
-l log_level
Specifies which messages will be logged by sftp-server. The possible values are: QUIET, FATAL, ERROR, INFO, VERBOSE, DEBUG, DEBUG1,
DEBUG2, and DEBUG3. INFO and VERBOSE log transactions that sftp-server performs on behalf of the client. DEBUG and DEBUG1 are equiva-
lent. DEBUG2 and DEBUG3 each specify higher levels of debugging output. The default is ERROR.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
>0 An error occurred.
FILES
/usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server Server-side binary.
