The expect tool is not standard unix. It's freely available, but it#'s a whole language in itself. With SFTP & passwordless keys, you won't need it though.

If you have passwordless authentication, you don't need this bit:-
Code:
USER='root'
PASSWD='abc'

I presume that you are putting in the real value of user@server and can do this on the command line to get connected.

Can you show us what output do you get manually and then by running your script? Nothing leaps out as a problem at the moment, but if it's prompting for your credentials, then your haven't got passwordless authentication working, which you will need to do first.

Feel free to over-type anything you deem sensitive.
