Need help in automation

Hi, I wanted to automate the scp command where i do not want to enter the password each time. So thought of using expect command. Script is executing without any issues but files are not copied to remote server. Can any one help me?

Below is my shell script..

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

TMP_FILE="/tmp/testestest"
/usr/bin/expect -d <<EOD
spawn /usr/bin/scp $TMP_FILE user2@123.123.123.123:/tmp/backup/logs/
expect "password:"  { send "user1234\r" }
EOD

Output:

Code:
expect version 5.42.1
argv[0] = /usr/bin/expect  argv[1] = -d
set argc 0
set argv0 "/usr/bin/expect"
set argv ""
executing commands from command file
spawn /usr/bin/scp /tmp/testestest user2@123.123.123.123:/tmp/backup/logs/
parent: waiting for sync byte
parent: telling child to go ahead
parent: now unsynchronized from child
spawn: returns {31719550}

expect: does "" (spawn_id exp4) match glob pattern "password:"? no
********************************************************************************

expect: does "********************************************************************************\r\n* This system was LDAP clientized on Wed Aug  3 14:49:58 CUT 2011              *\r\n********************************************************************************\r\n" (spawn_id exp4) match glob pattern "password:"? no
user2@123.123.123.123's password:

expect: set expect_out(0,string) "password:"
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "exp4"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "********************************************************************************\r\n* This system was LDAP clientized on Wed Aug  3 14:49:58 CUT 2011              *\r\n********************************************************************************\r\nwsadmin@159.202.157.176's password:"
send: sending "user1234\r" to { exp4 }

apropos(1)						      General Commands Manual							apropos(1)

NAME
apropos - Locates reference pages by keyword SYNOPSIS
apropos keyword... The apropos command shows which reference pages contain instances of any of the given keywords in their purpose lines. OPTIONS
Specifies the word(s) for which apropos should search. DESCRIPTION
In looking for keywords, apropos considers each word separately and ignores the case of letters. Words that are part of other words are also considered; thus, when looking for the word compile, apropos will also find all instances of compiler. If the output of the apropos command begins with a name and reference section number, you can enter man section name. For example, if the output of the apropos command is make(1u), you can enter man 1u make to obtain the reference page on System V version of the make command. The apropos command works just like the man command with the -k option. EXAMPLES
To find reference pages with the keyword password in the purpose line, enter: apropos password FILES
Keyword database. SEE ALSO
Commands: man(1), whatis(1), catman(8) apropos(1)
