Hello SkySmart,

In case password less scp is allowed in your environment. Then you could get rid of expect by simply doing password less sftp to another server. Here are few links which could help you in same too.

EDIT: I have just tried in my test server as follows are the steps on same.

i- I have made password less sftp as mentioned above.
ii- Now run following script to get files from source server or put files into target server.
Code:
cat script.ksh
stp username@server_name << ENDSFTP
cd /home/singh
get *.txt
quit
ENDSFTP

So above code has logged into my target box and took the files(which have .txt extensions) with them to current directory successfully.
iii- Now let's take an example of putting the files to a target server as follows.
Code:
cat script.ksh
sftp user_name@server_name << ENDSFTP
cd /home/Singh_is_King
put *.xls
quit
ENDSFTP

I hope this helps you. Enjoy learning Smilie

Thanks,
R. Singh
