Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I am working on AIX 5.3.

My requirement is to telnet to a server and scp a file from another server
In my shell script i am using telnet to enter to a server and i am echoing the password as below

echo open $Infahost
sleep 1
echo $Infaftplogin
sleep 1
echo $Infaftppasswd
sleep 1

i am getting this as the output....

telnet> Trying...
Connected to kaathr67.
Escape character is '^]'.
getwinsize:ioctl: A specified file does not support the ioctl system call.


telnet (kaathr67)

telnet>

whenever i am running the script for the first time i getting this error.
when i rerun it is working fine...This has been repeating for the past few runs...

please advice

stdin is evidently not a terminal or pseudo-terminal. telnet prefers to work directly with terminals.

Can you not use ssh instead of telnet?

i am using telnet to login to a server as user trysrc.
Only trysrc has the permission to run the command scp in our AIX server.

i am calling the shell script cmd_scp as

sh -c 'cmd_scp | telnet'

Could you please tell me how to login using ssh...

sam

ssh user@host
