Here's an example....

You call it from a shell script.

In your shell script, something like:

# FTP the file to the target host
# log into the fuelsale directory via EXPECT utility
# parameters: username, server, password, source directory, source filename, log filename
expect-sftp.exp $uname $target_host $pwd $srcdir $srcfile

Why not use public/private key authentication?

It is my firm belief that it is a mistake to hold any firm beliefs
