Help with Expect SFTP script

Hi All,

Here is my Expect script, I don't get any error message when I run it. But the file never goes to other system? I also paste the output screen below.

When I run the script, the script runs so fast. But when I do it manually, it takes about 10 minutes for the file to transfer.

Any idea. Thanks.


#!/usr/local/bin/expect
set timeout 2
set user user
set pass XYZ
set host citi-prod
set AUTOHOME "/home/citi"
spawn sftp -v $user@$host
expect password:
send "$pass\r"
expect "sftp>"
send "put $AUTOHOME/futures \r"
expect "sftp>"
send "exit\r"
expect eof

Output............

I got it working, by doing "autoexpect" it works great.

Thanks.
