scp using script
Hi all,
I want to setup scp script for copying files to remote server.
I did google and all refereed expect, but the script failed to work.

Please lead me to some useful link or piece of script.

Thanks in advance,

This is normal script to copy from machine1 to machine2.

Code:
scp pax@machine1:/tmp/qq pax@machine2:/tmp/qq

what you are trying to do..?

Something like :

But except completely new for me..and it failed to wok.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f                                                                                                                                  

# connect via scp                                                                                                                                     
spawn scp "pooja@lxplus.cern.ch:/afs/cern.ch/user/p/pooja/README" /home/poojasaxena/Desktop/CMS/script/ShellScripts/
#######################                                                                                                                               
expect {
  -re ".*es.*o.*" {
    exp_send "yes\r"
    exp_continue
  }
  -re ".*sword.*" {
    exp_send "PASSWORD\r"
  }
}
interact

Or i would say that the password should be provided by the script itelf. And the SCP should be automatic, once script is executed.
