This would be so much easier if you installed keys. You could write an actual script and check actual return values -- which is honestly what you need here, not an expect kludge.
I know you don't want to type the password 100 times, so a compromise, a way to install 100 keys?
Need an expect script to copy trusted keys
Once you can do that, the script will be as easy as checking the return values of ssh and scp in a real shell script.

tentacle_client
TENTACLE_CLIENT(1) Client file transfer protocol TENTACLE_CLIENT(1)
NAME
tentacle_client - a client file transfer protocol
SYNOPSIS
tentacle_client <options> Tentacle is a client/server file transfer protocol that aims to be:
- Executable programs or shell commands
- System calls (functions provided by the kernel)
- Library calls (functions within program libraries)
Tentacle was created to replace more complex tools like SCP and FTP for simple file transfer/retrieval, and switch from authentication
mechanisms like .netrc, interactive logins and SSH keys to X.509 certificates. Simple password authentication over a SSL secured connection
is supported too.
The client and server (TCP port 41121) are designed to be run from the command line or called from a shell script, and no configuration
files are needed.
Tentacle is now the default file transfer method for Pandora FMS and Babel Enterprise.
Tentacle is implemented in Perl and ANSI C (Windows platforms included).
You can download it and get more information at the official Sourceforge website http://tentacled.sourceforge.net/.
OPTIONS
Tentacle Client options :
-a address : Server address (default 127.0.0.1).
-c : Enable SSL without a client certificate.
-e cert : OpenSSL certificate file. Enables SSL.
-f ca : Verify that the peer certificate is signed by a ca.
-g : Get files from the server.
-h : Show help.
-k key : OpenSSL private key file.
-p port : Server port (default 41121).
-q : Quiet. Do now print error messages.
-r number : Number of retries for network operations (default 3).
-t time : Time-out for network operations in seconds (default 1s).
-v : Be verbose.
-w : Prompt for OpenSSL private key password.
-x pwd : Server password.
EXAMPLES
tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -v /bin/bash
Simple file transfer with maximum file size set to 1MB
tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -x password -v /bin/bash
Simple file transfer with password authentication (not secure)
tentacle_client -a 192.168.1.1 -x password -e cert.pem -k key.pem -v /bin/bash
Secure file transfer with client certificate and password authentication
NOTES
Tentacle requires Perl 5.8 or higher to works
