replacing expect/send
Dear all,

I have a code which needs to do :

spawn ftp 10.4.12.22
expect "Name (10.4.12.22:mmsadmin):"
send "BillingUser\r"
expect "Password:"
send "BillingUser\r"
expect "ftp>"
send "bye"

but when i run its say spawn, send and expect is not found...

how can i enable or install spawn, expect and send libraries...

Kindly help me out...

Hi,

There's an easier way to do this without using expect. It's by using a .netrc file (man 5 netrc) like this -

Code:
$ cat .netrc
machine my.server.here
  login my_username
  password itsasecret
  macdef init
  cd /path/to/go/to


$ chmod 400 .netrc
$ ftp my.server.here
... login without prompting ...
... cd's to directory specified and runs any other commands ...

The only gotcha to watch out for is the 2 blank lines after the end of the init macro. They must be there or it wont work.

Hope this helps,

-c
