RE: sFTP expect odditity

["Dennis Lovelady" <iseries@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Any attempt to answer your question about cause of unexpected behavior would
be pure conjecture without the source code.

Put yourself in our shoes.  You've said, "My script doesn't work; what's
wrong with it," and you haven't provided anything that would help us arrive
at a conclusion.

Maybe I should take that back.  Maybe the correct answer is, "your script is
probably wrong."
