RE: trouble installing EXPECT using Scott Klement Reference

It is a learning curve. I did all of this back in 2005, but it has been
running smoothly ever since. We don't do any new projects with it if we
can avoid it. Most things for us are simple file transfers, and since we
already use Mirth Connect for other transfers, we take advantage of it.
Mirth sits on a linux box with a mapped drive to the IBM i, checks the
folder periodically and then send any files it finds via SFTP. For
pickup it will go to a site and pull files on a schedule, and drop them
in a folder via the mapped drive. Mirth runs on windows also if you
don't have linux boxes around.

understand that

EXPECT mimic'd someone at a terminal... but i see the spawn command

Expect doesn't change anything about using sftp. Expect just asks

like

a person typing at a terminal. Here is one of our scripts.

#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f
spawn sftp -oPort=9002 xxx@1.1.1.1
expect "password:"
send abc123n"
expect "sftp>"
send "mput *\n"
expect "sftp>"
send "quit\n"

Reference

also, by using EXPECT (instead of SFTP), is there a way to specify
the

port to

use?

It looks to me like if you follow those instructions it would

be

at /usr/bin/expect. If you want it in qopensys you would need

to

either

copy/move it, or create a symbolic link (the better option)

Reference

Hopefully someone can help...

I'm following the short instructions in this link...

https://www.scottklement.com/expect/

however, when I am done and check for the expect command

using

the

following command, I do not see it...

WRKLNK OBJ('/qopensys/usr/bin/expect')

It appears i am not doing the install correctly. What am I

missing?
