Have you tried using ssh keys? That you had to install the third-party expect brute-forcing tool is a subtle hint, in mile-high glowing neon letters, that your plan is a rather bad idea. It's very hard to keep retrievably stored passwords safe. ssh, scp, sftp, su and the like are making it difficult for you, not because they hate you, but as a security feature to prevent what you're trying to do.

Hi Corona,
I tried that long back when I was working with ubuntu 10.04 . Did not succeed.
Now I have upgraded to 12.04.. possibly, I should try again.

Thanks,

Hi,
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect                                                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                                      
#$TARGET=/uscms/home/pooja04/script/AnalysisCode/Code42012/                                                                                           

spawn scp userd04@remote.server://file*root .
set pass "pass"
expect {
    password: {send "$pass\r"; exp_continue}
}

It is not copying all the file with extension *root. It just copied single file and then stopped.Smilie
