Script to log in SFTP server [with username, password]
Hi, everyone, I am trying to write a script to login automatically using username and password to an sftp server (the key authentication has been disabled so I cannot use that method).
I tried to search online for a solution and found a way using "expect" but my boss does not want me to use expect since the passwords need to be provided in plain-text.
I am a newbie about this sftp server. Please help out, thanks alot
