Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Expect Script for SFTP Upload Post 302574059 by felipe.vinturin on Wednesday 16th of November 2011 11:02:01 AM

Do you really need SFTP? Why don't you use SCP? It is over the same protocol, SSH!

I had the same problem with FTP, the return code: $? was always 0, so I tried to map all the errors that could happen: "connection timedout", "lost connection", ... and parsed the output of the verbose execution: -vvv.

Something like:
Code:
sftpLogFile="./SFTP_Exec.log"
sftp -vvv user@serverip... >> "${sftpLogFile}"
# After, validate the ./SFTP_Exec.log

Also, why do you need a expect script to do a SFTP? Why don't you use a passwordless ssh

Anyway, I hope it helps!
