Using 'expect' to automatically send in password
bash, expect, linux, scp, shell
Solution
From what you are trying to do it sounds like you might be better off using ssh with a public and private key. You could google for ssh-keygen tutorial to get started.
Problem
I am trying to copy a file from my remote server to my local. Here's my script to run it, by using 'expect' to automaticlally send in password ``` scp user@host:/folder/myFile ./ expect "Password: " send "myPassword" ``` When I run this, it still prompts for "Password", what is wrong?
