Corinna, I saw a similar problem in the cygwin mailing list in the thread - "ssh/sshd command line missing response". Can you tell me what my problem is? I desperately need help on this.. Thanks..

I tried this script on a friend's debian box, and it also works as expected. I think what's going on here is that somehow the ssh's stdin is getting "disconnected" from the expect terminal (I don't know whether the problem is expect's or ssh's though). This is evidenced by the fact that you are seeing the password that expect is typing. Expect is typing the password into a standard stream, no a password enabled, character hiding stream such as ssh would be using. I have enclosed the output from my test session from debian, and you can see that there is no password. mpaulus AT csu6223286:~ $ ./doit spawn /usr/bin/ssh -l mgpaulus 24.221.196.205 ls -l mgpaulus AT 24 DOT 221 DOT 196 DOT 205's password: total 1356 drwxr-sr-x 2 mgpaulus mgpaulus 4096 Mar 12 23:35 News drwxr-sr-x 2 mgpaulus mgpaulus 4096 Mar 8 23:13 bin drwxr-sr-x 8 mgpaulus mgpaulus 4096 Mar 30 13:17 fetchmail-5.3.3 mpaulus AT csu6223286:~ $ cat doit #!/usr/bin/expect -f spawn /usr/bin/ssh -l userid host "ls -l" expect -re "word:" send "password\r" expect eof mpaulus AT csu6223286:~ $ On Wed, 30 May 2001 14:22:29 -0400, Simha, Shuba wrote: >Hi Cygwin users, > >I am using Expect-5.26 from Cygwin-(not sure of the version) >I am trying to connect to a remote host through SSH, & on the command line, >it works just perfect.
